JSTOR Access
If you do not have access through your home institution to JSTOR's online archive of back issues of the Journal of American Folklore, the Journal of Folklore Research (formerly Journal of the Folklore Institute), Western Folklore (formerly California Folkore Quarterly), and Folklore (UK), you can receive a year's access by checking here and adding $15 to the cost of your AFS membership. JSTOR access requires a separate login ID and password. Once we receive your membership payment, we will contact you with JSTOR access information. This may take as much as a week from the time of your new member or renewal transaction to accomplish. Note: This benefit is not available to those who belong to an AFS section but not to the AFS itself.
