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 with one owner can have another individual listed as a beneficiary. The beneficiary will receive the savings bond in the case of the ownerâs death. If the owner or owners of a savings bond is dead and there is no beneficiary, the saving bonds become the property of the estate. More information on this can be found at Death of A Savings Bond Owner. For more great savings bond information visit the savings bonds section at Learn Bonds.
