Anthropology Plus is the world's most comprehensive index of bibliographic materials from the late 1800s to today in the fields of social, cultural, physical, biological, and linguistic anthropology; ethnology, archaeology, folklore, and material culture; and interdisciplinary studies. Available only online from RLG, Anthropology Plus unites two premier indexes. The result is extensive, worldwide coverage of core, local, and lesser-known journals. Together, Harvard University's Anthropological Literature database and the United Kingdom's Anthropological Index (Royal Anthropological Institute) provide a uniquely broad and rich resource for education and research in anthropology and related fields. Citations include journal articles, reports, commentaries, and obituaries from over 2,500 journals and edited works.

Avery covers the international scholarly and popular periodical literature, including the publications of professional associations; US state and regional periodicals; and major serial publications in the architecture and design of Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia. Coverage is from 1741 to the present. Nearly 13,000 citation records for architects' obituaries are included. Avery is produced by the Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University.

RLG Cultural Materials is a dynamic, multimedia collection of digital versions of manuscripts, photos, art, historical documents and memorabilia, and much more, brought together from around the world. Cultural materials are the primary, rare, and often unique works and artifacts that reflect and document the shared global culture of humankind and that may be used in research and learning. Some may reveal "hidden collections," previously in storage or otherwise inaccessible to museum or library visitors. Through a unique, flexible Web workspace--developed with the materials' special characteristics in mind--you can discover, compare, interpret, and make connections between materials in ways that enrich teaching, learning, and scholarship.
