Trent Joins Hathi Trust

The Library & Archives would like to share a new electronic resource available to the Trent community. Trent is the newest member of HathiTrust, a global not-for-profit collaborative of research and academic libraries working to preserve the cultural record.  HathiTrust holdings are broad, particularly rich in literature and history and include a large collection of U.S. government documents as well as a growing collection of Canadian government documents.   Through our new HathiTrust membership, Trent researchers can read or download 4.4 million+ digitized items from research libraries worldwide.

All readers can search the full-text of or conduct data and text mining research within all 17+ million items.  HathiTrust members in Canada have access 4.4 million public domain titles available to read online or for full-text download.  These include:  

  • Open access or Creative Commons-licensed works

  •  Canadian or Australian work published prior to 1901 
  • Works published in the rest of the world prior to 1896
