Princeton University Library Becomes the Newest Member of the HathiTrust

Princeton becomes the 29th member of the HathiTrust.

From a Princeton University Library Blog Post:

Princeton University Library has joined together with many other large academic libraries to store, preserve and protect its digitized book collections, by partnering with HathiTrust, a shared repository of digitized content. Princeton is the 29th library to join the partnership, which was formed in 2008 and counts Columbia University Library, Yale University Library, the University of California’s library system, and many others as fellow partners

Princeton plans to store its Google Books Project public domain images and other locally created digital collections in HathiTrust both as a means of having an off-site preservation backup repository for them and to gain all the benefits of commingling our texts with those of other large libraries. The HathiTrust repository will give our campus an important digital collections access utility with many useful features.
