Hundreds of prison newespapers from across the US.
Off Campus Access: Open access. Everybody can use this resource for free.
On March 24, 1800, Forlorn Hope became the first newspaper published within a prison by an incarcerated person. In the intervening 200 years, over 450 prison newspapers have been published from U.S. prisons. Some, like the Angolite and the San Quentin News, are still being published today. American Prison Newspapers will bring together hundreds of these periodicals from across the country into one collection that will represent penal institutions of all kinds, with special attention paid to women's-only institutions. Development of the collection began in July 2020 and will continue through 2021, with new content added regularly.

Collection of ebooks and articles about Gun Violence.
Off Campus Access: Free access.
Subject Areas: Political Science
Gun violence remains a pervasive public health crisis in the United States. As the country grows all too familiar with the cycle of violence, mourning, and inaction that takes place after any mass shooting, evidence-based research from experts and scholars is essential for any meaningful policy solutions to take place. In this spirit, and in collaboration with our publishers, we have compiled a list of select content on Project MUSE that addresses the complex challenge of gun violence.
“MUSE in Focus: Addressing Gun Violence” is a selection of recent scholarship from Project MUSE publishers on gun violence, its effect throughout the culture, and its possible solutions. Our hope is that bringing these pieces together will help to inform the policymakers responsible for solving this crisis, as well as to educate researchers and other concerned citizens who seek evidence-based work on this topic.
Collection of ebooks and articles about Digital Humanities
Off Campus Access: Free access.
Subject Areas: Digital Humanities
Project MUSE has brought sustainable digital humanities scholarship to an ever-growing worldwide community of publishers, libraries, and readers for over 25 years. As the formats, distribution methods, and business models of digital scholarship have evolved since the 1990s, MUSE has also seen its content comment on its form, featuring works that often exhibit the concepts they are discussing, from hypertext articles to Open Access monographs. MUSE, as a pioneer of digital scholarship in the earliest days of the world wide web, remains uniquely positioned to foster rich discussions on how technology can nurture and progress the humanities well beyond print.
“MUSE in Focus: Charting the Digital Humanities” is a curated selection of content that explores the history and theory behind digital humanities, traces its course through to the present, and charts the range of paths forward as scholarly communications adapt to an increasingly digital world.
Collection of ebooks and articles about the 19th Amendment.
Off Campus Access: Free access.

As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote in the United States, we also must acknowledge that the 19th Amendment’s passage was just one victory in a much larger and ongoing political struggle for women and other marginalized peoples demanding their democratic rights. “MUSE in Focus: Commemorating the 19th Amendment” is a curated selection of content from Project MUSE’s publishing partners and offers a broad range of perspectives about the history of the women’s suffrage movement in the US and its continued relevance to the ongoing struggle for true democracy around the globe.
Collection of ebooks and articles about Structural Racism.
Off Campus Access: Free access.
Subject Areas: Racism, Political Science.
A selection of scholarship from Project MUSE publishers on the history of structural racism in the United States and how the country can realize anti-racist reform.
The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others at the hands of structural racism have shone a spotlight on racial violence, police brutality, and the deep systemic issues that enable it. Recent protests are calling not only for justice in individual cases of brutality, but for total reform of a system built on decades of racism and inequity. For real change to occur, it is essential to consult the deep corpus of existing evidence-based scholarship on race, history, and public policy to help chart a path toward an anti-racist future.
“MUSE in Focus: Confronting Structural Racism” is a selection of scholarly books and articles from a wide range of publishers and perspectives about the history of racism in America, its endurance throughout society, and how the country can respond now to enact meaningful and lasting reform. We hope that this selection of research can help inform the necessary conversations and actions around this topic
Collection of ebooks and articles about the Pandemic.
Off Campus Access: Free access.
Subject Areas: Global Health
As the modern world faces an unprecedented crisis in the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to put into context each day’s events and how they will reverberate for years to come. In order to bring some perspective and context, in the spring of 2020 Project MUSE collaborated with participating non-profit publishers who provided a sampling of scholarship and we were truly amazed at the depth and breadth of interdisciplinary content they've provided.
“MUSE in Focus: Contextualizing Pandemic” is just a sampling of this scholarship on the broad topic of pandemic and its effects throughout history, in culture, and on humanity as a whole. We hope that bringing these pieces together will help to bring historical and cultural context to the current crisis, so that we may look to the knowledge of the past to guide us forward.
We envision this cross section as a place for scholars and generally interested readers alike to begin learning more. We also encourage readers to explore Project MUSE for additional relevant content.
Collection of ebooks and articles about climate change.
Off Campus Access: Free access.
Subject Areas: Environmental Studies
In August 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report that details the urgent threat of climate change over the coming decades. The report calls for immediate action to address the deeply entrenched global systems that rely on and perpetuate the consumption of greenhouse-gases. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres described the findings as a "code red for humanity."
The scope of this challenge is daunting. Each year brings increased temperatures, extreme weather, and wildfires signifying the damages already done. Preventing further destruction will require a broad understanding of the myriad social, political, cultural, and economic forces that have exacerbated the problem.
“Humanity’s ‘Code Red’ on Climate Change” explores the human causes and effects of climate change, and the urgency of action to avert future catastrophe.
Collection of ebooks and articles about the current state of democracy.
Off Campus Access: Free access.
Subject Areas: Political Science
The violence that took place on January 6th at the United States Capitol shocked the country and observers around the world, but its root causes are deeply embedded in American history and society. While the full scope of that day’s insurrection attempt has yet to be fully realized, there already exists a wealth of scholarship through which we can trace the long history of white nationalism and the gradual mainstreaming of anti-democratic thought that ultimately led to this moment.
“Roots of the Attack on Democracy”, the latest in our MUSE in Focus series, explores the history of American right-wing extremism and the modern forces that culminated these attitudes in our current moment. Understanding the nature of these challenges provides the best chance to overcome them.
