JSTOR provides museums with access to nearly all archival journal collections for one set of fees: Arts & Sciences I-XV, Life Sciences, Business IV, Lives of Literature, Public Health, Security Studies, Sustainability, and 19th Century British Pamphlets.
Museums may also choose to add the Jewish Studies Collection, the Hebrew Journals Collection, the Ireland Collection, Struggles for Freedom: Southern Africa, World Heritage Sites: Africa, and Global Plants for a separate set of fees.
