OA to ornithological archive

SORA (Searchable Ornithological Research Archive) is an open-access archive of the back runs of five journals of ornithology, with a sixth to come soon. The ongoing journals provide their content with a moving wall of what looks like five years. Some of the back runs go back 120 years. SORA is collaborative project from the American Ornithologists Union, the Cooper Ornithological Society, the Association of Field Ornithologists, the Wilson Ornithological Society and the University of New Mexico libraries and IT department.
