JSTOR is a digital library of scholarly journals, books and primary sources, founded in New York with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It began as a way to relieve libraries of the cost and space of storing long runs of printed journals, by scanning back issues and making them searchable online. William G. Bowen, then head of the foundation and a former president of Princeton University, was central to its creation. It soon spread to universities around the world and became an everyday tool for students and researchers in the humanities and social sciences. It is now run by the non-profit ITHAKA, and it has opened part of its content to free reading.
