One of the Fellowship benefits is borrowing rights at the Centre for Anthropology Library at the British Museum. In addition to this, we can now offer Fellows online access to the databases subscribed to by the British Museum.

The main benefits of being able to access the British Museum Athens site are as follows:

JStor

Access to all of the JStor Arts and Sciences databases, as well as the JStor Life Sciences Collection. This includes, for example, 42 Anthropology journals and 57 journals on Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The databases are fully searchable and all articles can be downloaded for free, except those published in recent years (this ‘moving wall’ is between 3 and 5 years, depending on the journal).

Reference works

Access is provided to the following databases:
Encyclopaedia of Islam (Brill)
Encyclopedia Britannica Online
The Times Digital Archive 1785-1985 (Gale)
Oxford Art Online
Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
Oxford English Dictionary, and
Oxford Reference Online, which gives access to a range of different reference tools
