Open Access resources for fairy tale research

The advantages of Open Access are pretty obvious. You get stuff for free, but also you can be pretty sure it’s legitimate (unlike a lot of material on the internet). Open Access helps more than just academics. It makes reliable information available to the general public who may be very interested in what we are doing at colleges and universities, and will benefit from being able to find out easily and without cost. And Open Access also furthers a culture of a shared community of individuals and groups who value cooperation, collaboration, thoughtful reflection, accountability, inclusiveness, and public service for people and the earth.

And so, in that spirit I’d like to offer some Open Access resources to help you learn about fairy tales and fairy-tale media. For funding my own Open Access material below, I thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada; University of Jyväskylä Open Research Centre, Finland; University of Winnipeg; and Utah State University Press. I’m also suggesting some good free resources that I’ve curated for quality. Enjoy!
