The publisher completed its Springer Book Archives (SBA), a four-year project to digitise nearly every book it had published from the 1840s to 2004. While the company originally anticipated that around 100,000 books would be part of this effort, more than 110,000 titles were included. Also, due in large part to the addition of those books in the SBA, SpringerLink – Springer's online content platform – surpassed eight million documents for the first time.
