The institutions in the project participated in a pilot program to test using the LOCKSS system to collect and preserve born-digital, freely available humanities e-journals. Small publishers using marginal business models currently publish a substantial amount of important work in the humanities. This material is at immediate risk of loss. The participants selected titles; obtained publisher permissions; and configured LOCKSS plug-in

• ...let us save what remains: not by vaults and locks which fence them from the public eye and use in consigning them to the waste of time, but by such a multiplication of copies, as shall place them beyond the reach of accident.
