Reveal Digital

"Our unique library crowd-funding model uses library acquisition dollars to fund the development of digital collections. Working closely with content holders, we help define and scope the collection, determine the cost base for producing the collection, provide data conversion and hosting services, and manage the entire process....Source libraries and rights holders receive digital copies (images and metadata) of all of the material they provide to a collection. REVEAL DIGITAL makes no ownership claims to the digitized content. All rights to the content reside with the original rights holders or with the source institutions for out-of-copyright material. To facilitate communication with the end users we provide links from the content pages in our collections to the rights holders and/or source institutions....With a model unaffected by aggressive revenue goals and questionable long-term access restrictions, REVEAL DIGITAL is committed to true open access and helping more libraries make more content available to more researchers...."
