We’ve been here for three decades, but JSTOR wouldn’t be what it is without all of you! Librarians who champion the value of digitized journals and archival materials, faculty who introduce their students to the resources available, and researchers up at odd hours falling into rabbit holes—all of you make up a vibrant community that shares our commitment to knowledge-sharing.

To celebrate, we want to hear from you! Share a short written or video testimonial about what JSTOR means to you by answering a few quick questions.

Your testimonial might be featured in a blog post, on social media, or elsewhere as we reflect on 30 years of JSTOR.

Share your JSTORy.

Before there was Moo Deng, there was William.

This little blue hippopotamus, known affectionately as William, has been a fan favorite at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for over a century. Dating back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (c. 1961–1878 BCE), William was likely placed in tombs to offer protection in the afterlife.

His bright faience glaze and lotus decorations connect him to the Nile’s waters—but don’t let his charm fool you! Ancient Egyptians knew that hippos were both revered and feared, making William a powerful symbol. He epitomizes the Egyptian craftsmanship of the era.

Take a closer look at William on JSTOR.

sometimes i think i like aftg a normal amount and then i remember i have an pre-canon au universe in my head where kayleigh day and mary hartford were lowkey in love and had a tumultuous falling out before mary runs away with neil. ignoring the canon timeline bc aftg canon is convoluted 99% anyways.
