Anthropology: Find Articles

Start your research using the best resources recommended by the subject librarian for anthropology. Here you’ll find the key indexes to the academic literature, full-text databases, and documentary film collections.
  • Getting Started

    • Multidisciplinary & General Anthropology
    • Article Indexes - Specialized & Related Disciplines

Discover Articles

Article indexes usually reveal, rather than deliver, articles. 

Start with a keyword search to find your search terms in the citation or abstract. You'll then need to check whether Dartmouth owns the item.

Pay attention to subject headings for relevant items.  Running another search with those headings may yield better results.

Do we own it?

  • If the full-text of the article is not linked from the citation...
    follow the "Get It" icon or search the library catalog by magazine/journal title.
  • Our library catalog has separate records for paper & online formats of journals
  • Be sure to check the range of years owned
    to see if we have the issue you need.
