HathiTrust’s Copyright Review Program makes available published works no longer protected by copyright. The program reviews US, Canadian, Australian, and UK publications.  While the highest priority is published monographs, many serial and series publications are available.

As of June 1, 2022, HathiTrust’s collection included nearly 1.4 million U.S. federal documents. HathiTrust’s Federal Documents Advisory Committee, among other tasks, explores “methods and operations to characterize, improve, and enhance the quality of federal documents metadata and the HathiTrust digital corpus”
