The American Medical Association has digitized the entire archive of JAMA &
Archives journals. The JAMA & Archives Backfiles are a singularly rich,
full-text digital resource that includes every issue of JAMA and the
specialty Archives Journals dating back to the first issue of JAMA published
in July 1883.
Fully integrated into the JAMA & Archives web sites, the Backfiles deliver
more than 1.7 million pages-every article, every image-into the digital age.
Each article has been carefully scanned and digitally optimized, allowing
readers to explore the Backfiles using sophisticated searches and a host of
additional online research tools. Pivotal articles, such as the original
Blalock-Taussig operation and Sabin's and Salk's polio vaccine, as well as
thousands of archival images and even advertisements, are a few clicks away.
Readers can view, download, store for personal use, and e-mail links to
print-quality PDF files; receive citation and topic alerts; and link
directly to an array of social bookmarking sites. For each article, the
references, which can be downloaded separately, offer free linking to
thousands of citations in other archival content on the HighWire Press
platform.
Links to every issue are now available on the Past Issues page of each
journal's web site. Publications included in the Backfiles include: JAMA
(from 1883), Archives of Dermatology (from 1920), Archives of Family
Medicine (1992-2000), Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry (1919 to 1959),
Archives of General Psychiatry (from 1959), Archives of Neurology (from
1959), Archives of Internal Medicine (from 1908), Archives of Pediatrics &
Adolescent Medicine <http://archpedi.ama-assn.org/contents-by-date.0.dtl>

<http://archpedi.ama-assn.org/contents-by-date.0.dtl> ) (from 1911),
Archives of Ophthalmology (from 1929), Archives of Otolaryngology-Head &
