The Open Library of Humanities (OLH): a project exploring a PLOS-style model for the humanities and social sciences. This site aims to give the background to and rationale for such a project along with an initial call for participants so that we can put a team together in Spring 2013. As their preliminary statement: we are not affiliated in any way with PLOS. This website will be used for the preliminary stages of developing the organizational structure of OLH, as we launch as a not-for-profit company, and in the run-up to launching the actual journal and database.
