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.
