The Big Ten Open Books Project Unveils Indigenous North Americans Collection
The Big Ten Academic Alliance expanded its Big Ten Open Books project with a second 100-book collection, this one centered on Indigenous North Americans. The organization notes, “The high-quality scholarly works included in the collection have all been previously published in print by the partnering university presses and are now being made openly available in digital form to read and reuse at no cost to the reader or author.”The collection covers “the history, culture, religion, and resilience of Indigenous populations from the 15th century to present day. Events of Indigenous diplomacy, evolution, education, and contributions to North American history are highlighted in this collection.” The first collection was Gender and Sexuality Studies, launched in 2023. More collections are planned for 2025–2026 on the topics of African Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanic Americans; health disparities and disability culture; and human environmental impact.
