Through a new partnership with the Law Library Microform Consortium (LLMC), CRL will expand the scope of its preservation activities and make new primary source digital collections available to CRL libraries. Under this partnership, CRL and LLMC will work together to identify, preserve, and provide digital access to important at-risk primary sources in the fields of international law, government, and politics.
A joint CRL-LLMC committee will guide identification of collections for digitization, which will be drawn from CRL as well as other important repositories. These new additions will support the interests of CRL libraries and augment CRL’s collection strengths in area and international studies, such as African legal materials. LLMC has access to a large body of material listed in the bibliography Common Law Abroad, which document the heritage of constitutional and legal regimes in former British territories and colonies, including British Africa.
Starting August 16, all CRL libraries will have access to the online LLMC-Digital database, which includes over 20 million pages of legal and government-related materials from all world regions, will be available to researchers at CRL libraries. Researchers and librarians from the CRL community can login at http://www.llmc-digital.org to explore this content and its rich potential for interdisciplinary research. After the initial year, CRL will propose terms of continued access to the materials for interested CRL libraries.
