A huge thanks to our copyright reviewers! In 2024, the Copyright Review Program opened 27,000 items in HathiTrust after determining they are in the public domain.
On Public Domain Day 2025, more than 76,000 titles from 1929 -- as well as 60,000 for global readers -- emerge from the shadows and into the light, all thanks to HathiTrust members.
Let the copyright wall roll! In January 2025, HathiTrust will release tens of thousands of new titles into the public domain in the U.S. and around the globe. Coming soon!
HathiTrust members elect Maria Estorino and Carmelita Pickett to the Board of Governors, joining Lorrie McAllister as the newest board members beginning in 2025. The membership also overwhelmingly approved the 2025 budget.
The video recording of the 2024 HathiTrust Member Meeting is now available. "Committed to the Core: Stewarding our Shared Collection" recording includes a report from director Mike Furlough, keynote address by Katherine Skinner, and a panel of members and staff.
HathiTrust is pleased to announce that Heather Weltin has been appointed HathiTrust’s Collections Strategist, a re-conceived leadership role that will help us accomplish our strategic vision to increase access to and use of an expanded, diversified, and enhanced collection.
