Why am I getting a login prompt?

Access to eHRAF World Cultures is granted via authentication through a HRAF member institution such as your university library, research institute, academic department, or museum. In some cases, including temporary remote access, trials, or course membership, you may have been issued a HRAF username and password. This page will not accept your personal university library credentials or academic logins.

You are most likely seeing this page because:

• You do not belong to a HRAF member institution with paid access to eHRAF. See below.
 
• You are attempting to access eHRAF from an off-campus location.Refer to your institution's guidelines for accessing resources from off campus.
 
• You have not correctly authenticated via your institution or library portal.Contact your librarian (or instructor, for course members) for further assistance.
 
• Your HRAF-issued username and password credentials have been entered incorrectly or have expired.Contact hraf-support@yale.edu for assistance.

See our troubleshooting page for more information.
