ANU collections available on JSTOR

A number of ANU collections are now live on the JSTOR platform. 

These collections of rare and unique materials are sourced from the University’s Archives, Library and Open Research Repository, and span a range of subjects. 

This is an exciting opportunity for our amazing collections to be discovered by a much wider audience!

The collections available to browse and enjoy are: 

• Materials about individual Australians’ involvement in the Spanish Civil War, including newspaper cuttings, photographs and recordings of interviews to help us better understand this lesser-known event which has parallels in the modern era. 
• Past editions of the ANU Reporter, Australian National University’s magazine. This collection provides a record of ANU staff and students’ experiences, and the social history of the ANU over the past six decades.  
• Photographs of Papua New Guinea from the 1930s, focusing on people and places around Madang, Atemble Mission, and the Schrader Range.  
• Minute books documenting the collective decision-making by Australian workers in the 19th century. These important records are part of the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World register.
• Images of Pacific locations from Burns Philp and Company, a major shipping line that operated in the Pacific Islands. 
• Official stock and share lists from the Sydney Stock Exchange, which unlocks knowledge of the history of the Australian Stock Market between 1901 and 1950. 
• Rare Chinese books on Buddhism, Taoism and other missionary publications from the Xu Dishan collection, that will assist with the study of Chinese literature, history and philosophy. 
• Over 35,000 antique maps, views and plans focusing on the Asia-Pacific region. This collection includes topographic; cadastral; aeronautical; bathymetric; thematic; and tourist maps and is valuable to a range of researchers.
