DIGITAL HISTORIA NUMORUM

  E-Sylum readers might be interested in an online version of
  Barclay Head's "Historia Numorum" being created by Ed
  Snible.

  "The Historia Numorum, one of the greatest works on ancient
  Greek and Roman Provincial coins, has entered the public
  domain. In a very real sense you now own the book. Until
  now you've had no way to read it unless you were lucky
  enough to own a copy or your local library kept it.

  That's why I've created a project to put the HN on the
  internet. The project page is http://www.snible.org/coins/hn/.

  Over 200 pages of the HN have already been uploaded.
  However, these pages are incomplete. They contain many
  typos and OCR errors.  There are few hyperlinks.
  Converting scanned pages into text is hard work, especially
  if the text is full of pictures, tables, Greek, and monograms.
  It took over 20 hours to get the first 200 pages online, even
  in this rough state. I expect it will take much more to create
  a clean edition."
