• JSTOR is investing in the future and sustainability of Artstor's high-quality collections and key functionality by incorporating them in one platform, where we will continue to build tools for teaching and learning as we expand access to this invaluable visual resource.
• As a mission-driven nonprofit, JSTOR works to promote and preserve the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Institutions are increasingly seeking streamlined, trustworthy, and cost-effective solutions in the changing landscape of research and education, and we are working to meet those needs by bringing diverse digital content together in a platform optimized for teaching and research.
• This is why we're bringing what we call the Artstor experience — its library and key functionalities — to JSTOR. We know that Artstor isn't just images, but also the experience of using those images, whether that involves downloading or citing, zooming or comparing, creating groups, or sharing curated content. We've already brought these features and more to JSTOR, where they will be enhanced, maintained, and joined by many more.

Artstor users can easily log in to JSTOR in the following ways:

• If you have access to Artstor or previously registered for an account on Artstor, the same email address and password also works on JSTOR.
• If you have logged into your Artstor account within the last 120 days, you will have access to content your institution subscribes to from JSTOR and Artstor.
• If you usually log in to your Artstor account through your institution's login page, you can now do that on JSTOR as well.

The quality of the Artstor images you see on the JSTOR platform is the same, with the same resolution.

The Artstor website will be retired and all users will be redirected to JSTOR on August 1, 2024. Artstor's high-quality collections and key functionality are now available on JSTOR.

Yes. On August 1, 2024, library.artstor.org will redirect to jstor.org, Artstor item stable links will redirect to their counterpart on JSTOR, and image group links will redirect to their Workspace folder counterpart. Redirects will be in place for at least a year (August 1, 2025) per best practices, though we recommend updating permalinks for content and images as soon as you're ready to use Artstor on JSTOR.

Here are a few places to start:

• We are continuously updating and adding new content on the Artstor on JSTOR: Working with images training page.
• Register for an Images on JSTOR training webinar on April 25, 2024 at 1:00 pm EDT.
• You can also always find help on our Support site.

Yes. Core functionality (e.g., content, search, browse, image groups, authentication) will receive the same support through August 1, 2024, and our support team will maintain dedicated support for the Artstor site. As we get closer to retiring Artstor, we might not fix smaller problems that arise in favor of ensuring that JSTOR is fully ready to support Artstor users across the board.

We've put together a feature comparison chart to help show you and your users which Artstor features are on JSTOR, where you can find them, and what is still in development. This table is updated with every new release.

Our release notes page on our support site covers all major image-related updates to JSTOR since January 2022, and links to further documentation where relevant.

You can start your search with images only, or start with a general search and narrow your results to images. You can search by media type or color, search within curated Artstor collections only, browse by collection, geography, or classification, and save as you go.

Yes. Workspace on JSTOR replaces image groups. Here, you can save, organize, present, annotate, and export Artstor’s images and groups along with articles, book chapters, and other images and primary sources from JSTOR. We also copied all Artstor users’ groups to JSTOR in February 2024. Learn more in the image group section of this FAQ.

Existing personal collection items on Artstor can be copied to JSTOR Workspace folders using the copy tool. For step-by-step instructions, see the Artstor image group section of this FAQ. We are also exploring functionality to allow users to add new personal items to JSTOR, and will have more information about this in the first half of 2024.

Visit our collections page to browse or filter the collections list, or perform a search within all collections. You can scope your search to Artstor collections or open collections only, and you can use search facets on collection pages to browse within collections by classification, geography, date, image resolution and more.

Yes. JSTOR copied all Artstor users’ image groups to their personal JSTOR Workspaces in February 2024. Learn more about Artstor image groups on JSTOR.

If you create and/or modify image groups on Artstor after February 1, 2024, you can copy your image groups to JSTOR on your own until August 1, 2024, when the Artstor website will be retired.

No. This one-time copy event did not affect image groups on Artstor, nor did it affect image groups that are copied to Workspace by users before or after.

Yes, users received an email with documentation, a video introduction to image groups on JSTOR, and a link to their personal Workspace, where copied groups will appear as folders.

They appear as folders in your personal JSTOR Workspaces. The Workspace folders retain the names of copied image groups.

Yes, if the image group owner’s affiliated institution and group’s institution shared permissions are the same institution, we automatically reshare the new workspace folder with that institution on JSTOR.

You will receive a report listing any items that failed to copy due to being unavailable on JSTOR. When or if an item becomes available, it will automatically appear in the Workspace folder.

Yes, all image groups that exist for a user on Artstor were copied into a Workspace folder. You can easily delete unwanted groups that are automatically copied.

Personal collections from Artstor will only be copied to JSTOR if they are included in an existing image group. Here is how to add personal collections to image groups on Artstor:

1. Log into Artstor.
2. Open the “Browse” drop-down menu and select “Personal Collections.”
3. Open the “Organize” drop-down menu and select “Select all on page” to select all images on the page.
4. Select Save selections to a new group and choose a name for your new image group.
1. Note: You can display up to 72 items per page. If you have more than this in your personal collection, repeat these steps for each page.

If you didn’t complete this process before image groups were copied in February, you can still follow the steps above and use our copy tool to transfer personal content to JSTOR until August 1, 2024.

Yes, Artstor’s licensed collections are already on JSTOR. Check the status of all Artstor collections.

Unlike the Artstor Digital Library content on the current Artstor website, which is licensed to Artstor participants by JSTOR, the Public Collections on the Artstor website are published and managed by content contributors and not part of the licensed Artstor content. These contributors have control over their content, including whether or when it is published to JSTOR. Thus, not all public collections that are available on the Artstor website have been republished to JSTOR. Conversely, there are new collections published to JSTOR that are not available on the Artstor website. You can explore all collections available on JSTOR on the Collections page.

Audio, video, and panorama are all supported on JSTOR as of December 2023.
