The Portico archive now hosts the content from two digital collections published by Gale: The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges and Public Life in Contemporary Argentina. Gale will stop hosting this content on 08/31/20; therefore, it has “triggered” and is available via Portico to those Gale customers who purchased the collections. Note that, because these titles are part of our digital collections service, they are available exclusively to Gale customers who have purchased these collections, and Portico participation is not required. Libraries that own these collections should redirect users to the Portico URLs before Gale turns off access.

The Life and Times of Jorge Luis Borges is a collection of materials originating from the Jorge Luis Borges Collection and Documentation Center of the Fundacion San Telmo. It includes a wide range of materials including the entire corpus of Borges’s works as well as rare items and texts that appeared in unindexed national and provincial newspapers and journals.

Public Life in Contemporary Argentina presents an extensive grassroots view of social and political changes in Argentina. Extensive primary source materials go beyond standard press coverage and government declarations to include the perspectives of participants in social movements. It is an excellent resource for Latin American studies, comparative politics, sociology, gender studies, the uses of media in political organizing, political and social groups, social anthropology, and history.

Portico ensures ongoing access to content that is no longer available through its original publisher or a successor. To date, we have triggered 127 items, 103 of them open access. This is the first trigger event in our digital collections service. A full list of triggered content is available to view or download.
