Anthropological Index Online

The Anthropological Index of the Royal Anthropological Institute

The Anthropological Index Online has been made available with the financial support of the William Buller Fagg Charitable Trust and the practical support of CSAC at the University of Kent.

The Index is based on the journal holdings of The Anthropology Library at the The British Museum (formerly Museum of Mankind) which receives periodicals in all branches of anthropology, from academic institutions and publishers around the world.

The data is © RAI and use is permitted for educational non-commercial purposes (including private study). Regular or heavy educational/academic use is licensed by the payment of a subscription. Commercial institutions wishing to use Anthropological Index Online are asked to contact the RAI to arrange access.

The online data is being regularly updated, and other improvements are planned. The new search pages went live in mid-August 2006. Data is now available with accented characters in UTF-8 encoding (unicode). This has been undertaken as part of the GROK: Genealogical Relations of Knowledge project (which was funded by EPSRC and ESRC).
Links to Feedback are included below.

The retrospective conversion was enabled by grants to the Royal Anthropological Institute from the Getty Foundation, ESRC (UK), the Mellon Trust, the Pilgrim Trust and the Marsh Christian Trust for which we are extremely grateful. The main work of the conversion was undertaken by the UK Higher Education Digitisation service (HEDS).

Please send comments and suggestions and notifications of any errors in the data to CSAC.
