Founded as a not-for-profit organization in 1995, JSTOR is used in more than 11,000 schools, universities, and institutions around the world. The collections in JSTOR include peer-reviewed scholarly journals, respected literary journals, academic monographs, research reports, and primary sources from libraries’ special collections and archives. JSTOR's journal collections usually include all issues back to the inception of the journal, contain PDF images of original articles in each issue, and are full-text searchable through each article. With participation and support from the international scholarly community, JSTOR has created a high-quality, interdisciplinary archive of scholarship and continues to greatly expand access to scholarly works and other materials needed for research and teaching globally.

The Department of the Interior Library's JSTOR subscription currently includes access to their Life Sciences Collection (which is a compilation of their former Ecology & Botany, Biological Sciences, and Health and General Sciences collections), their Arts & Sciences II and Arts & Sciences VII collections and their Early Journal Content collection.

 
Life Sciences Collection

The Life Sciences Collection spans four hundred years of science history and research in the sciences. This collection provides extensive coverage in the field sciences, with great depth in botany, ecology, and ornithology, along with important titles in general science, medicine, nursing, epidemiology, and public health. The collection includes the publications from several premier societies in their respective fields, such as the American Entomological Society, American Ornithological Society, American Society of Mammalogists, and Botanical Society of America. Additionally, five renowned botanical gardens enhance the offering of botany titles: Missouri Botanical Garden and the New York Botanical Garden (U.S.); Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (U.K.); Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum, Berlin-Dahlem (Germany); and Nationale Plantentuin van Belgie (Belgium).
 

Arts & Sciences II

This collection adds depth to many disciplines introduced in Arts & Sciences I with core titles in new disciplines such as archaeology, classical studies, and geography. It includes a strong set of journals in political science, including International Affairs, founded and edited by the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Also of note is International Security, edited by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University. Other important titles that are part of this collection include American Anthropologist, American Antiquity, Annals of the Association of American Geographers and The Geographical Journal.
  

Arts & Sciences VII

This collection contains titles in more disciplines than in any other JSTOR collection, and the most non-US titles in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Journals cover more than 30 arts, humanities, and social science disciplines, as well as business, finance, and health science fields. Includes journals with extensive publishing histories, such as Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, with more than 140 years in print, and Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, the oldest scholarly publication in the United States.
 

Early Journal Content

JSTOR’s Early Journal Content (EJC) makes articles from hundreds of journals freely available to the public on the JSTOR platform. This includes journal content published prior to the last 95 years in the United States, or prior to the last 143 years if initially published internationally.

You can find EJC articles by searching JSTOR and choosing its open content, or via our search portal for all open content on JSTOR.

Anyone may use the Early Journal Content for noncommercial purposes with acknowledgement to JSTOR as the source of the files. We also provide a free Early Journal Content data bundle for text mining purposes that includes full-text OCR and article and title-level metadata.
