Project MUSE (Museums Uniting with Schools in Education),[1] a non-profit collaboration between libraries and publishers, is an online database of peer-reviewed academic journals[2] and electronic books.

[3] Project MUSE contains digital humanities and social science content from some 400 university presses and scholarly societies[4] around the world.

With grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, Project MUSE was launched online alongside the JHU Press Journals in 1995.

In January 2012, a new interface was launched which incorporated its current journal collection with electronic books published by members of the University Press Content Consortium (UPCC).

Project MUSE is the sole source of full-text versions of journal titles from a number of university presses and scholarly societies.

End-users have the capability to search the database and, if affiliated with a subscribing institution, immediately retrieve content in 100% full-text PDF or HTML formats.

[11] All content from the print editions of the electronic books are full-text, accessible in PDF format, and fully searchable and retrievable at the chapter level.

The UPCC Book Collections on Project MUSE include a range of current humanities and social science scholarly titles.
