Mellon Foundation and with the purpose of establishing a retrieval service for publicly available digital library resources provided by the research library community. OAIster has since grown to become one of the largest aggregations of records pointing to open archive collections in the world. In 2009, OCLC formed a partnership with the University of Michigan to provide continued access to open archive collections through the OAIster database. View the news release.
