"ProQuest's Historical Collections Program delivers unique and diverse primary source materials that have been requested by faculty and researchers in the humanities and social sciences disciplines," said Susan Bokern, vice president of information solutions at ProQuest, in a prepared statement.

ProQuest seeks out and enters into strategic partnerships to find and digitize this unique content to support the mission of the library as well as student achievement and researcher success."
