<p>A quick post to state that <a href="https://www.pynchon.net">Orbit</a> is now preserved by the CLOCKSS archive. For more on this, see <a href="http://www.clockss.org/clockss/News#Orbit">the press release</a>, which even features a quotation from me!</p>
<div style="wudth:750px;"><a href="https://www.martineve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/orbit.jpg"><img src="https://www.martineve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/orbit.jpg" alt="Orbit" title="Orbit" width="727" height="72" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1309" /></a></div>
<blockquote><p>The founding editor of Orbit, Martin Paul Eve, speaking on behalf of the editorial board, said: “Digital preservation is a key issue as we enter a new phase of scholarly publishing. Particularly as we adapt to open access and the tectonic shifts that come with this, including a new wave of independent scholar-publisher journals such as Orbit, it is important that those running these enterprises understand and use the impressive technological mechanisms that can safeguard their work. I am extremely pleased that we now have the opportunity to preserve the content of our journal of literary criticism with CLOCKSS.”</p></blockquote>
