HathiTrust Digital Library & Research Center
A comprehensive archive of published literature available to everyone at The Claremont Colleges.
In 2016, The Claremont Colleges joined HathiTrust, a digital library partnership whose goals include preserving and providing access to digitized collections. HathiTrust aims to collaboratively build a comprehensive archive of published literature from around the world and to develop shared strategies for managing and developing digital and print holdings. HathiTrust has 2 platforms:
The HathiTrust Digital Library is a catalog of both in-copyright and public domain resources comprising:
- Over 14.6 million volumes
- Over 7.3 million book titles
- Over 403,000 serial titles
You can search the catalog for descriptive information (title, author, subject, etc.) about these resources or run full-text searches. Viewing the full text of results is limited to items that are out of copyright and/or in the public domain. As a member of HathiTrust, The Claremont Colleges have additional privileges:

The HathiTrust Research Center Extracted Features Dataset
- This data-set facilitates text analysis using the HathiTrust Digital Library. While copyright-protected texts are not available for download from HathiTrust, research can still be performed on the basis of non-consumptive analysis of features extracted from full text. These features include:
- volume-level metadata
- page-level metadata
- part-of-speech-tagged tokens
- token counts
