The Artstor website will be retired on August 1, 2024, but you can get started with Artstor on JSTOR now using the resources below.
Search across Artstor plus other openly accessible image and primary source collections on JSTOR. Find exactly what you need: Search by media type or color (try van gogh blue), browse by collection, geography, or classification, and save as you go.
To ensure you have what you need to get started, your Artstor image groups were copied to your JSTOR Workspace in February 2024.
Workspace replaces image groups, making it easy to save, organize, annotate, and export Artstor's images and groups along with articles, book chapters, and other images and primary sources from JSTOR.
Why is Artstor moving to JSTOR?
- JSTOR is investing in the future and sustainability of Artstor's high-quality collections and key functionality by incorporating them in one platform, where we will continue to build tools for teaching and learning as we expand access to this invaluable visual resource.
- As a mission-driven nonprofit, JSTOR works to promote and preserve the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Institutions are increasingly seeking streamlined, trustworthy, and cost-effective solutions in the changing landscape of research and education, and we are working to meet those needs by bringing diverse digital content together in a platform optimized for teaching and research.
- This is why we're bringing what we call the Artstor experience — its library and key functionalities — to JSTOR. We know that Artstor isn't just images, but also the experience of using those images, whether that involves downloading or citing, zooming or comparing, creating groups, or sharing curated content. We've already brought these features and more to JSTOR, where they will be enhanced, maintained, and joined by many more.
How do I access Artstor content on JSTOR?
Artstor users can
- If you have access to Artstor or previously registered for an account on Artstor, the same email address and password also works on JSTOR.
- If you have logged into your Artstor account within the last 120 days, you will have access to content your institution subscribes to from JSTOR and Artstor.
- If you usually log in to your Artstor account through your institution's login page, you can now do that on JSTOR as well.
