JSTOR launches Arts & Sciences VIII Collection

More than thirty rare 19th and early 20th century American Art periodicals form part of this collection, including 291, created in 1915 by Alfred Stieglitz and Bradley, His Book from the private press founded by William H. Bradley. Eleven of these periodicals are immediately available in the collection, with the remaining titles available by the second quarter of 2010.

New titles in language & literature, history, philosophy, and classical studies will add international depth to JSTOR, with leading journals such as Zeitschrift für deutsches Altertum und deutsche Literatur, Journal of South Asian Literature, Revista Chilena de Literatura, Revue d'histoire litteraire de la France, and English in Africa (language & literature); Scottish Historical Review, Revue historique, Agricultural History Review from the British Agricultural History Society (history); Revue philosophique de la France et de l'étranger (philosophy); and Glotta: Zeitschrift für griechische und lateinische Sprache (classical philology).
