African Access Initiative
Since 2006, JSTOR has waived the standard participation fees (the Archive Capital Fee and the Annual Access Fee) for any not-for-profit institution in a country on the continent of Africa.
- Access will be for the entire JSTOR archive, including all content added to the archive during the period of participation. Information about each collection may be found at Archive Collections.
- Access also includes all JSTOR collections developed by Aluka. These collections will be available at www.aluka.org for the near term.
- Access to JSTOR is provided via the Internet, using IP addresses that are authorized at the institution to have access. Institutional ID and password access may be provided where stable IP's are not available.
- All not-for-profit institutions interested in African Access Initiative participation are required to fill out the JSTOR Network Verification Form.
- All institutions must download, complete, sign and send in a JSTOR Participation Agreement (via fax, scanned email attachment or mail).
