It was originated by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 1997 with the goal of reducing the long-terms costs of journal storage. JSTOR's main function changed to a provider of online access to leading scholarly journals in the humanities, social sciences and (to a lesser extent), the sciences. Instead of discarding back runs of journals, libraries put them in storage.
