NEWMAN NUMISMATIC PORTAL DIGITIZES THE CENTINEL
The latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is The Centinel from the Central States Numismatic Society. Project
Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. Thanks! -Editor
The journal of the Central States Numismatic Society (CSNS), The Centinel has been continually published since 1953 and is currently under the capable editorship of Gerald Tebben. CSNS Treasurer Jack Huggins recently delivered the back issues of this journal to the Newman Portal scanning center in St. Louis, and this periodical, through the year 2013, is now available on the Newman Portal. The Centinel represents an extensive archive, with over 200 individual issues and 10,000 pages in total. Scanning began on February 17 and concluded on March 4. Regional publications often feature significant numismatic content but are little known outside their geographical area. A quick browse in The Centinel, for example, reveals an important article in the Winter 1995 issue (vol. 43, no. 4), by Robert Vassell, discussing the formation and disposition of the Byron Reed collection in Omaha, NE. No doubt there are hundreds of similar tidbits in this longstanding publication. The Newman Portal acknowledges Bruce Perdue (CSNS President) and Jack Huggins (CSNS Treasurer) for their assistance with this project. To read the complete article, see:
