What is JSTOR? Using funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, it was created in 1995 to build “trusted digital archives for scholarship.” It provides the complete full-text run of issues of its archived titles from volume 1, issue 1 in the humanities, literature and other social science fields. Depending on publisher agreements, there is a three- to five-year embargo on current content. A “comprehensive and reliable” archive for its materials. Uses high-resolution technologies to provide images of original pages at 600 dpi or 300 dpi grayscale (whichever is most accurate).

What is JSTOR? Currently seventeen collections in areas such as: Arts and Sciences (7) Life, Health, Biological Sciences and Botany (4) Business and Economics (2) Language and Literature Music Mathematics and Statistics Regional Collections (currently 1, for Ireland) Full text (when available) 1769 – 2007.

What is JSTOR? 5,036 participating institutions, representing 126 countries and including 2,375 in the United States. 467 different participating publishers. 773 journals in 47 disciplines and 14 collections. 3,953,735 articles (including reviews); 24,699,855 digitized pages. JSTOR was accessed 340,875,291 times in 2008 (through August 31), and 194,945,475 pages were viewed.

Related and Complimentary Resources …a brief detour to look at related resources….

Related and Complimentary Resources ARTstor is a digital library of over one million images in the areas of art, architecture, the humanities and social sciences, supported by Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, like JSTOR is. Images of all types are contributed by museums, archives, libraries, scholars and individual photographers. Images are presented at 72 dpi.

. Example of an ARTstor image: “To Horse, Proletarian” a lithograph by Alexander Apsit, 1919.

. Archival photos: “St. Petersburg Fashion Plates” by Karl Karlovich Bulla, 1908.

. Architectural photos: Photo of the Vyborg Municipal Library in Leningrad Oblast, by Alvar Aalto, 1927.

. Oil paintings: “Icon, Christ Pantokrator,” by an unknown artist, 19 th century.

Portico Began in 2002, as a joint venture of JSTOR, Ithaka Harbors, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Library of Congress. Differs from JSTOR, in that it is a “dark” archive, designed to provide back-up access to subscribed, or formerly subscribed journals when the publisher or access provider goes out of business, or is experiencing long-term technical issues. When a “trigger event” occurs, dark-archived journals are opened to the appropriate libraries.

Aluka Aluka is an internationally-built collection of scholarly resources about Africa, created in 2003 in cooperation with JSTOR and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Three focus areas to date: African Plants, African Cultural Heritage Sites and Struggles for Freedom in Southern Africa. Content will merge into JSTOR in 2009.

JSTOR & Project MUSE Project MUSE MUSE is a venture of The Johns Hopkins University Press and its Milton S. Eisenhower Library, with funding from National Endowment for the Humanities and again, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Complimentary, but not officially related to JSTOR.

JSTOR & Project MUSE Similarities: Both MUSE and JSTOR emphasize journals in the humanities, social sciences, history and literature. MUSE content tends to be current volumes in these journals and often compliments JSTOR’s archival content. Example: “Hesperia” JSTOR: v 1, no. 1, 1932 – v. 73, no. 4, Project MUSE: v. 74, no. 1, 2005 – present. (Next year, JSTOR will cover , and MUSE will cover 2006 – present.)
