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.

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) 1,252 unique journal titles in all collections (Nov. 2008).

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.

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.)
