History [link]
In 2004, Ithaka Harbors obtained ownership of Portico, which had originally been started in 2002 by JSTOR and named the Electronic-Archiving Initiative. It operates as a "'dim' archive for e-journal content" that stores information from scholarly journals so it can't be lost, an example being when the part of it housing the Graft: Organ and Cell Transplantation journal was "lit up" and became publicly accessible after access to that journal's website was removed by its publisher.[4]
In 2006, Ithaka Harbors expanded its offices, purchasing an additional space out of state at 100 Campus Drive in Princeton, New Jersey. The office building was chosen so it would provide easy employee access to the New York City headquarters via Route 1.[5]
After previous cooperation with the company, Ithaka Harbors officially merged with JSTOR in 2009. The companies stated that the merger was "a natural progression" and that they would work together to help "academic institutions use digital technology to enhance scholarship and teaching and reduce system-wide costs through collective action."[6]
Awards [link]
The same year that Ithaka Harbors obtained Portico, the Library of Congress gave a $3 million NDIIPP grant to the company for it to "develop, test, and operate one or more electronic archives for electronic journals", along with providing "long-term access to those journals". The endeavor was known as the Portico Project.[7]
The National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services named Ithaka Harbors as one of the four recipients of their 2008 Digital Partnership grant awards. The company was chosen because of its Protecting Future Access Now: Developing a Prototype Preservation Model for Digital Books project, which is meant to be a "prototype preservation service that will provide a practical model for the preservation of digitized books."[8]
Ithaka Harbors received federal contract awards in 2010 and 2011. The former was $75,000 given by the US Department of Labor for their "Archived E-jornal Collections".[9] A year later, the Department of the Army awarded $17,000 for collection additions of "books, maps and other publications".[10]

Ithaka (musician)
Ithaka Darin Pappas, better known simply as Ithaka, is an American hip hop artist, sculptor, artistic photographer, writer, poet, record producer and surfer, of partial Greek descent. Ithaka was born and raised in Southern California, but later established himself in Japan, Greece, Portugal and Brazil (where the artist currently resides).
In Lisbon he recorded his first two hip hop albums, Flowers And The Color Of Paint and Stellafly. His song, Escape From The City Of Angels appeared on the soundtrack for Columbia Pictures' feature release, The Replacement Killers. He was also the lyricist/vocalist of the A cappella poem "So Get Up" that the dance track So Get Up by Underground Sound Of Lisbon was built upon.
During his active years in Portugal, the artist's musical projects were nominated for a total of nine Blitz Awards (the Portuguese equivalent of The Grammy Awards) including; Best Album (for "Flowers And The Color Of Paint" in 1995 and Stellafly in 1997) and Best Male Vocalist (in 1995 & 1997). In addition, the prestigious national newspaper, Publico awarded his 1997 release Stellafly as "Album Of The Year" and considered his most popular song from that record Seabra Is Mad as both the "Song Of The Year" and "Video Of The Year". In an end of the decade retrospective article about Portuguese music, Publico also cited his debut release "Flowers And The Color Of Paint" as one of the country's Ten Most Influential Albums Of The 1990s.
