Own a Piece of the Past Preserving the past is easy with Gale Digital Collections.

Gale™ has gone beyond leasing — we’re offering permanent ownership, in electronic format, of Gale proprietary archival content. The advantage? Your budget is preserved and protected and the purchased content is yours to keep.

Archived data… yours to keep forever

Gale Digital Archives is a new concept for acquiring online resources. In essence, a one-time purchase means your library will own archival content through the end of the previous year. After the initial archival purchase, an annual update is available for an additional fee. If your library wishes to store the archive and continue to access the data on the Gale server, you may pay a hosting fee to do so.
