Participation Fees for U.S. Academic Institutions

Language & Literature Collection

JSTOR is pleased to have had the support of the Modern Language Association in the creation and production of the Language & Literature Collection, which contains a total of fifty-eight journals and adds nearly 1.3 million new pages to the JSTOR archive. The journals span the literary cultures of many different countries, and contain articles in several languages, including Arabic, Italian, and German. Through this collection, users can also gain insight into the interests of literary scholars in the first half of the twentieth century. In PMLA, for instance, readers can discover articles about the disinterment of Milton's remains (1930), how Washington Irving's German tour influenced his tales (1930) and how the French humanists of the Renaissance learned Greek (1950). Additionally, the Language & Literature Collection includes core journals in the diverse fields of literary criticism that have emerged in the last thirty years. Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, founded by renowned feminist Germaine Greer in 1982, for example, has been key in uncovering a rich female literary tradition, featuring unpublished letters by Virginia Woolf and a previously unknown travel essay by Edith Wharton.

As with all JSTOR collections, institutions will pay two fees to participate in the Language & Literature Collection, an Archive Capital Fee (ACF) and an Annual Access Fee (AAF). The ACF is a one-time-only fee designed to ensure that JSTOR has the necessary resources to meet its archival obligation as technology evolves. The AAF helps cover the recurring costs of updating the archive and maintaining access and support services for participating institutions. These fees vary depending upon the JSTOR Classification of each institution. Please see JSTOR Classifications for an explanation of the five classes of U.S. academic institutions.

The Language & Literature titles are also available as part of either the Arts & Sciences I or the Arts & Sciences III Collections. Thirteen Language & Literature titles exist also in Arts & Sciences I; while forty-five are included in Arts & Sciences III. Institutions may participate in Language & Literature or in both Arts & Sciences I and Arts & Sciences III. In determining participation fees for the Language & Literature Collection we have been careful to ensure that participants contribute only once for any title in the archive.

JSTOR Charter participants should select the Language & Literature Collection fees corresponding to their JSTOR Classification in the far right columns, regardless of participation in Arts & Sciences I.
