AnthroBase is a multilingual, searchable database of articles, theses, essays, reports, conference papers, field-notes etc., written by socio-cultural anthropologists and others with an interest in human society and cultural diversity. Authors retain copyright to their contributions and the right to withdraw from the database at any time. AnthroBase does not publish copyrighted material.

AnthroBase provides a free publishing opportunity for "the interesting text that never was published". Such texts are written every year by students, researchers and practitioners of anthropology around the world. Our aim is to bring them - collectively - to the attention of the general anthropological - and global - public. We offer texts that may be freely downloaded, printed or bookmarked. Copies of downloaded or printed texts may be distributed to colleagues or students free of charge, provided the text is in no way altered.  Fully formatted, printed master copies and bound editions of our texts may be ordered from AnthroBase at a nominal charge. Downloaded texts must not be utilized for commercial purposes without the author’s written consent.

Our collection today contains texts in three languages: Danish, English and Norwegian. We wish to include other languages, but are in need of linguistically proficient editors, who can recommend us to students and colleagues. Click here to see our present language editors. Potential editors should contact us.

AnthroBase went online in May 2001. The collection has since then expanded considerably, not only in size, but in regional orientation, thematic focus and analytical style as well. We may exclude texts for editorial or ethical reasons, but our acceptance policy is eclectic and open-minded: If it’s interesting and readable, we’ll publish it.
