Anthropology Plus is an international index of journal articles, reports, commentaries, edited works and obituaries in the fields of social, cultural, physical, biological, and linguistic anthropology, ethnology, archaeology, folklore, material culture, and interdisciplinary studies.

This database combines the Anthropological Literature index from the Tozzer Library, Harvard University and the Anthropological Literature index from the Royal Anthropological Institute in the UK. 

The index offers excellent coverage of all core periodicals in the field in addition to local and lesser-known journals. Coverage is from the late 19th century to the present.
