NEWMAN PORTAL DIGITIZES ANS COAC PROCEEDINGS
Len Augsburger is the Project Coordinator for the Newman Numismatic Portal. He submitted the following note about the digitization of the
ANS Coinage of the Americas Conference (COAC) Proceedings. Thanks! -Editor
Newman Portal Digitizes ANS Coinage of the Americas Conference Proceedings In 1976, The American Numismatic Society (ANS) published Studies on Money in Early America, edited by Eric Newman and Dick Doty. This volume featured 13 papers, all featuring original research on aspects of early American numismatics. The influence of Harry Bass and others led to a renewed focus on American numismatics, and in 1984 the first Coinage of the Americas Conference (COAC) was conducted at the ANS. Although not formally part of the COAC series, the 1976 volume clearly acted as a precursor, and the 1984 COAC proceedings are similar in format to Studies on Money in Early America. The ANS has conducted the COAC periodically ever since, and so far 16 volumes have been published in the series. The Newman Portal has gathered these together (some were already available in digital format, some have been scanned) and they are now available in the Newman collection on Internet Archive. A few stray volumes will be added soon to complete the series. The Newman Portal wishes to thank Andrew Reinhard, ANS Publications Director, for extending permission to scan and present these volumes on the Newman Portal.
These proceedings are an awesome collection of numismatic scholarship that I often refer to in my own library. Many thanks to the ANS for
making these available to researchers and the general public. -Editor
