Anthropological Index Online

Produced by the Royal Anthropological Institute, this periodical index provides citations to articles in anthropology journals from 1957 to the present. You may search by keyword, author, title, or by journal name. It is also possible to limit your results by continent, region and by subject area.
Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History

This respected series of anthropology papers has been continuously published since 1907 and contains over 350 full-text works which provide a great deal of insight into the historical development of the practice and theory behind anthropology.

Not all the articles are full-text. To only search full-text articles, select the "full-text" search option in your database.

If the database just provides an abstract the "Where can I get this" link lets you know where the full-text of an article is available. You may find full-text online through another library database, in print at KPU, or via interlibrary loan by making an interlibrary loan request.
