We are delighted to announce the <link https: about.openlibhums.org olh-launches>launch of the Open Library of Humanities! On Monday 28th September, the OLH publishing platform was officially unveiled - supporting 7 academic journals from across the humanities disciplines, including our own multidisciplinary journal. Our Library Partnership Subsidy (LPS) model has now reached 108 institutions from across the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and in Australia. The support of these partner libraries means that we are able to publish open access scholarship with no author-facing article processing charges (APCs). We are delighted to announce that earlier in 2015 the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded Birkbeck, University of London a grant of $741,000 to support the OLH in reaching sustainability for the platform, expand the number of journals we publish, and build OLH open-source and free XML typesetting and translation software. Our mission to make scholarly publishing fairer, more accessible, and rigorously preserved for the digital future also took a significant step forwards when, earlier in September 2015, the OLH obtained formal charitable status, granted by the UK's Charity Commission. Since launching a little over 2 weeks ago we have already seen a surge of interest in the Open Library of Humanities - with new inquiries from journals wishing to migrate onto the OLH platform, academics submitting their work, editors applying to join our international editorial network, and a steadily growing number of research institutions signing up to support us. The task now is to continue the hard work building the LPS model around the world, raising awareness among academic and library communities of what the OLH can offer humanities scholarship, and consolidating the tremendous good will we have so far received into a solid reputation for prestigious and innovative open access publishing. Our launch marks a significant turning point for the OLH - and, we hope, for humanities publishing - and we are immensely grateful to everyone who has helped us reach this point. Your continued efforts in spreading the word, recommending the OLH to colleagues, persuading libraries to sign up to our LPS model, and submitting your research are vital to building the OLH - from a promising new platform into a major international publisher which is fair to libraries, authors, and openly accessible to readers.
