JSTOR – a Digital Archive of Journal Articles
Did you know you can read an article online describing ancient Egyptian mummies that was written in 1825, or read what the Belfast Monthly Magazine had to say about the education of female children in 1810?
JSTOR (short for journal storage) is a digital archive of important scholarly journals, starting with the very first issues, some dating as far back as the 1600s. JSTOR contains high-resolution, scanned images of journal issues and pages as they were originally designed, printed, and illustrated.
The journals archived in JSTOR span many disciplines such as African American Studies, Architecture & Architectural History, Classical Studies, Film Studies, Palaeontology, Zoology and more.
Note it does not have the current issues of journals. There is a gap, typically from 3-5 years, between the most recently published journal issue and the back issues available in JSTOR.
