AMNH Collected Papers Open-Accessed
I’d like to join the chorus of anthropology blogs congratulating the American Museum of Natural History in New York for publishing their collected papers, going back a hundred years, online for free, open-access.

As Jason noted above, the Smithsonian is making it’s publications open also. In addition to the Anthropology series, the all the Smithsonian’s Contributions series are available online (http://www.sil.si.edu/smithsoniancontributions/). Two additional series, Cont. to Zoology and Cont. to Astrophysics will be available before the end of the year.
Additionally, many more Smithsonian staff publications are available directly though the Smithsonian Digital Document Repository (http://si-pddr.si.edu/dspace/)
