Arctic Contents - Arctic Institute of North America (AINA)

This page provides access to the more than 2500 articles that have been published in the Arctic Institute of North America’s peer-reviewed journal Arctic. The scanning of back issues was partially funded through a generous private donation from AINA member Joan S. Tait.

Summaries of issues are provided through automatic searches of the ASTIS database, and include papers, notes, commentaries, editorials, profiles, obituaries and InfoNorth essays. Book reviews, most news items and letters to the editor are not included. English abstracts are provided for all items, and French abstracts are provided for papers and notes since 1993.

PDF files of commentaries, editorials, obituaries and InfoNorth essays are made available when issues are published. PDF files of papers and notes are made available one year after publication, at which time issues are marked with .
