About images on JSTOR
Images on JSTOR are contributed by partnering institutions like universities, museums, community and private collections including Artstor Digital Library. For this reason, the quality and size of images can vary.
Searches entered into the search bar that contain relevant text and image results are presented with both a total search result count (results) in addition to image-specific result count (image results).
Continue to limit your image search results by either checking the "Images" checkbox (found under Primary Source Content) or select "View all images" to explore images related to your search terms.
When refining a text and image search to image-only search results, relevant images will be presented in a grid layout that offers the option to scan across a selection related to your search.
Once an image of interest has been selected, click on an individual image to open the full image detail page in the same tab.
The full image detail page contains your selected image in an embedded image viewer in addition to a variety of information about the image including the source, date, medium, and copyright information. Here you may also export and adjust image citations, share, or save it to your Workspace.
The image viewer includes options to manipulate the image such as zoom in and out of the image, fit to view, toggle to full screen, and use multiple image Compare Mode.
Below the image viewer you also have the option to view other images in the collection (In this collection) or discover other collections (Explore other Collections) Use the > to scroll and view the collections.
How are these images related to my search?
The keywords used in your search match some of the metadata about the image. For example, if the word "lighthouse" is found somewhere in the description of the image, it might also appear in the search results for your JSTOR search for "lighthouse."
If you're not seeing images, it may be because:
- there were no images relevant to your search or
- complex JSTOR search queries may not return results
