JSTOR Access

If you do not have access through your home institution to JSTOR's online archive of all issues of the Journal of American Folklore (from 1888 to five years behind the present), you can receive a year's access by checking here and adding $15 to the cost of your AFS membership. JSTOR access requires a separate login ID and password. Once we receive your membership payment, we will contact you with JSTOR access information. This may take as much as a week from the time of your new member or renewal transaction to accomplish. Note: This benefit is not available to those who only belong to AFS sections and not to the AFS itself.
