JSTOR: Your go-to database for historical information.
Provides access to more than 12 million academic journal articles, books, and primary sources. Subjects include history, economics, history of medicine, religion, and more.
What subjects are covered?
History, economics, political science, and sociology, along with other key fields in the humanities and social sciences.
Is the information scholarly?
Yes. All the materials in JSTOR are scholarly and academic.
Why can't I always find the full text of an article?
JSTOR has many different collections--not all of which we subscribe to. You can use Interlibrary Loan to get the full-text article.
Why are there no recent articles?
Unlike many other databases, JSTOR does not contain publications' most recent articles. Articles are typically added 3 to 5 years after publication, in what is referred to as a moving wall.
Can I access it off-campus?
Yes! You can access it anywhere and at any time through the library website.
