The site, in 2001

A commercial online library of academic books and journal articles, mostly in the humanities and social sciences, sold by subscription.

Troy Williams, a Harvard Law Review editor, founded it in 1998, and the library opened to the public in January 2001. Gale, part of Cengage, bought it in 2010 and closed it on 21 December 2020.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
