JSTOR was initiated in 1995 at seven different library sites, and originally encompassed ten economics and history journals. JSTOR access improved based on feedback from its initial sites, and it became a fully searchable index accessible from any ordinary web browser.
BREAKING DOWN 'U.S. Savings Bonds' A U.S. savings bond is a common type of government bond, which is a bond issued by a governmental body to raise funds from the public to fund its capital projects and other operations necessary to manage the economy.
Savings bonds have been a popular way for Americans to save since 1935 and are a great way to set aside money for family members. Many people received them as children but are unsure how or when to cash their savings bonds in order to get the maximum rate of return.
