We calculate the second and third integral homology of arbitrary finite rank Coxeter groups. The first of these calculations refines a theorem of Howlett, the second is entirely new. We then prove that families of Artin monoids, which have the braid monoid as a submonoid, satisfy homological stability. When the K(π,1) conjecture holds this gives a homological stability result for the associated families of Artin groups. In particular, we recover a classic result of Arnol'd.
