New JSTOR Collection

JSTOR has announced a broadening of its collection by providing access to 8,200 nineteenth century British pamphlets. These pamphlets provide a collection of primary source documents that speak directly to the major issues and intellectual life of nineteenth century Great Britain.

There are documents by and about Charles Babbage, Gladstone, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Paine, and John Stuart Mill (to name five).
Pamphlets also include visual arts such as engraving, portraits, and caricatures. JSTOR has plans to increase the collection to 20,000. This represents a significant new library of primary source material applicable to studies in disciplines across the humanities, as well as the history of science.

JSTOR is one of our most useful and used online journal collections, unique in that it provides complete runs of journals, including even nineteenth century material. For more information contact the public service staff in the SLU Libraries.
