Anthropological Index Online
Encyclopedia
The Anthropological Index Online http://aio.anthropology.org.uk/aio/ is an international journal indexing service for anthropology.
The service indexes the journals received by The Anthropology Library at The British Museum (formerly at the Museum of Mankind) which receives periodicals in all branches of anthropology, from academic institutions and publishers around the world. It is a collaboration between the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland
and the Anthropology Department, University of Kent
, UK. It is also available under license from the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) as part of Anthropology Plus.
There are several hundred thousand records to date, the earliest from the late 1950s. Although there are few records from this early period, there are many more for recent years. Subject coverage is Cultural Anthropology
/Social Anthropology
, Physical Anthropology
, Archaeology
and Linguistics
. The index is regularly updated.
The Index was originally made available with the financial support of the William Buller Fagg Charitable Trust and the practical support of CSAC at the University of Kent. Over the years we have received generous help from the Getty Foundation, ESRC (UK), the Mellon Trust, the Pilgrim Trust and the Marsh Christian Trust. The main work of the converting the original paper indexes to digital form was undertaken by the UK Higher Education Digitisation service (HEDS).
The data is copyright of the Royal Anthropological Institute. 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. Users can email sets of records returned by the search forms to themselves for import to their own bibliographies and use in citation.
There are two search pages for access to the records; one for quick search and another with more detailed options. Lists of keywords currently used and journals indexed are available. Records are available in UTF-8 (unicode) with diacritics because of the wide range of languages and transliterations used and also an ASCII version.
