One-time payment

Invest once for lasting access. JSTOR’s one-time payment options allow libraries to add or convert collections without recurring fees—expanding access and reducing costs while ensuring perpetual access on JSTOR.

Archival journals

You can use one-time funds to add new JSTOR content and collections, or convert collections under the standard AAF model to one-time payment. Institutions can also split the fee over two fiscal years. Investing in one-time payment for archive collections also lowers your annual fee (AAF) for our full journals and primary sources model option. Learn more about fees on JSTOR.

One-time fee options are available for a number of individual archival journal collections, including Arts & Sciences I-XV, Life Sciences, Business IV, Hebrew Journals, Jewish Studies, Ireland, Lives of Literature, Public Health, Security Studies, and Sustainability. Because JSTOR’s journal archives expand each year, your one-time investment continues to grow in perpetuity.


Primary sources

One-time fees are also available for three licensed primary source collections: 19th Century British Pamphlets, Struggles for Freedom: Southern Africa, and World Heritage Sites: Africa.

Use one-time funds to support open access primary source collections from under-represented 20th-century voices with Reveal Digital.
