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.
The U.S. Department of Treasury issues savings bonds with a unique serial number that's used to track the bond's owner and value. As of 2012, there are 14 different types of savings bonds. The most common -- several of which no longer earn interest -- are Series E, EE, H, HH, I and Savings Notes.
