Anthropological Literature (AL) is an online database of citations to journal articles and articles in edited volumes and symposia held by the Tozzer Library (previously the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology), the anthropology library at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Approximately 350,000 citations, formerly in a card catalog, were added in 1997 to the post-1979 records to create the foundation for the current online database.
AL currently indexes more than 700 journals and series in more than fifty, mostly European and Slavic, languages.
As of 2008, AL contained some 570,000 citations that cover articles published from the early 19th century to the present.
In addition to the lists posted on the Anthropological Literature website, a user guide, or tip sheet, is also available.
