Gale Digital Archives
A new concept for acquiring content 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.
So you're able to renew your electronic purchase, maintaining ownership of the most current and comprehensive data available.

INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONS One-time, up-front purchase fee with
contract License annual updates with access if
desired
CONSORTIA Pricing available for both consolidated
purchase and buying clubs on models similar to annual subscriptions
