Gutenberg-e Books Now Available Open Access and through ACLS Humanities E-Book
(AHA Today, American Historical Association, February 13, 2008)
From Robert B. Townsend, AHA’s Assistant Director, Research and Publications: “We hope that making the books available in these two new forms promotes increased interest, attention, and use in the academy.” Townsend encourages scholars to read and compare the formats of the electronic monographs and states that “…these books stand as models of exceptional scholarship in the discipline and rich examples of how new media can transform the traditional monograph form.”

ACLS Humanities E-Book to Host the CTC
(Renaissance News & Notes, Renaissance Society of America, Summer 2007)
From RSA’s Executive Director John Monfasani: “One of the great scholarly projects of our time is the Catalogus Translationum et Commentariorum…So it was with considerable joy that I received the notice [from ACLS]. The great advantage of online access is…the ability to consult something whenever and wherever we want. Indeed, since the online version will be searchable, the CTC has become even more valuable.”
CAA Monographs Are Now E-Books
(CAA News, July 2007)
“Through a partnership with the ACLS Humanities E-Book Project, CAA is pleased to announce that a number of volumes from the CAA Monographs Series, many long out of print, are now being reissued as e-books, available as online downloads and CD-ROMs, and in print-on-demand (POD) format.”
IATH to Partner with ACLS Humanities E-Book Project
(IATH News, Spring 2007)
“ACLS Humanities E-Book and The Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities of the University of Virginia are happy to announce their new partnership aimed at producing, hosting, and distributing new born-digital scholarship in the humanities. Bernard Frischer, IATH Director, says “this is more than a natural alliance between a digital production unit and a digital distributor. IATH’s relationship with HEB is a crucial step forward in making innovative digital scholarship sustainable and as normal a feature of the academic landscape as print publication has long been.”
