Jisc Group Purchasing Scheme

What's Inside

Introduction

British Online Archives (BOA) offers a unique opportunity for Jisc member institutions to make significant savings on twenty of its most popular primary source collections. This will allow students and researchers to benefit from expanded access to primary resources, helping them gain a greater understanding of their chosen subjects.

Our collections cover a diverse range of subjects and time periods ranging from colonialism and the world wars to political activism and military intelligence. Collections made available on the framework have been selected based on their relevance to subjects and course modules currently being taught and researched in British universities. All are multi-disciplinary.

The main ethos of the purchasing scheme is simple: the more you buy, the more you could save.
