In the HathiTrust Digital Library collection, you can find titles on everything from African History, Economics, and French Literature to Solar Energy, Public Health, and materials published in more than 400 languages. The digital library of 19+ million digitized items brings together the collections of more than 70 academic and research libraries from across North America and other countries. Users from around the world use the digital library for their undergraduate and graduate studies, personal research, genealogy, and professional purposes such as law and journalism. We are members of the HathiTrust Digital Library. What does this mean? HathiTrust is a digital collaboration by research and academic libraries, mostly consisting of scanned older works. We have full download and print access for books out of copyright (mostly from the 1920s or earlier) that we own, or books that are otherwise in the public domain.
