The OSA Digital Archive 1 package includes access to content published between 1917 to 2005 and includes roughly 135,000 articles from OSA's core journals, magazine, and conference proceedings.

The OSA Digital Archive 2 supplements the original OSA Digital Archive, by providing perpetual access to an additional 121,000 journal, magazine and conference proceeding articles published between 2006 and 2015.

OSA now offers Individual Journal Archives for some of its journals. You can now purchase perpetual access to the archives of Applied Optics, Optics Letters, the Journal of the Optical Society of America A (JOSA A) or the Journal of the Optical Society of America B (JOSA B). Purchasing one of more of these Individual Journal Digital Archives ensures access to all of the content in each journal from the first issue through 2006 (Digital Archive 1) and from 2007 through 2011 (Digital Archive 2).
