Participation Fees for Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions

Music Collection

The Music Collection contains the complete back runs of thirty-two titles dedicated to scholarly research and theory in the field of music. This collection has a far more international selection of titles than any previous JSTOR collection, including journals published in the Netherlands, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, and France. It addresses issues that span diverse musical genres such as World Music in television ads and "Structure and Imagery in Chinese Lute Music." One can find articles published as early as 1844, as well as articles that tackle musicology in the contemporary era; subjects range from the study of musical instruments to the "Construction of Albanian National Subjectivity" through poetry and songs. Manuscript studies, criticism, and book reviews from respected scholars, musicians and composers such as Aaron Copland, Allen Forte and Jean-Jacques Nattiez also distinguish this collection.

JSTOR is grateful to RILM Abstracts of Music Literature. RILM, with guidance from scholars and members of the Music Library Association, led the selection process for this collection. RILM is an international bibliography of scholarly writings on music and related disciplines, housed at the City University of New York Graduate Center.

All thirty-two Music Collection titles are also available as part of the Arts & Sciences III Collection. Institutions may participate in either the Music Collection or Arts & Sciences III Collection to access these titles.

Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions will pay a one-time only Archive Capital Fee (ACF) and an ongoing Annual Access Fee (AAF) for each collection. The ACF is designed to help ensure that JSTOR has the necessary resources to meet its archival obligation as technology evolves. The ACF is paid once only, upon licensing an institution's first JSTOR collection. With the licensing of subsequent collections, no further ACF will be required. For further information, please see Archive Capital Fees for Government and Non-Profit Research Institiutions.

Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions will contribute an Annual Access Fee for participation in each of the collections that they select. The AAF helps cover the recurring costs of updating the archive, and maintaining access and support services for participating institutions. Please see JSTOR Classifications for an explanation of the five classes of Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions.

Institutions may participate in the Music Collection at any time and in any combination with other JSTOR Collections.

New JSTOR participants should complete the JSTOR Archive License Agreement. Participants wishing to add the Music Collection to their JSTOR holdings should complete the Collections Rider.
