From the [Open Library of Humanities blog](https://www.openlibhums.org/news/391/):

> The Open Library of Humanities today celebrates its 5th anniversary since we [launched our platform](https://www.openlibhums.org/news/146/) on 28th September 2015 with only 7 journals and 99 supporting institutions. Five years on, our sustainable business model has attracted nearly 300 supporting institutions, proving the success of its pioneering non-classical economic model, and enabling us to establish a thriving platform of 28 peer-reviewed journals.

In many ways [OLH](https://www.openlibhums.org), and its chief scholar-visionary [Martin Eve](https://eve.gd), have pioneered the [crucial third-way library-funding model](https://items.ssrc.org/parameters/the-library-solution-how-academic-libraries-could-end-the-apc-scourge/). Cheers!
