NEWMAN PORTAL SCANS NUMISMATIC NEWS

Newman Numismatic Portal Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following update on the digitization of Numismatic News. Thanks. -Editor

numismaticnewsvo1201unse_orig_0001 With the assistance of Cliff Mishler and George Cuhaj, Newman Portal continues to scan Numismatic News (1952-date). The reference set of this periodical is held by the Iola (WI) Historical Society, which has kindly loaned the run for scanning and permitted Newman Portal to unbind the volumes prior to scanning. To date, 1,368 issues have been scanned.

Illustrated here is the front page of the January 6, 1964 issue, announcing that Congress passed legislation, by an overwhelming margin, for the creation of the Kennedy half dollar. The concept design illustrated is markedly different from the actual coin, with smaller central figures on both sides.

While we have not secured permission to display this periodical with full-view on NNP, we will display brief snippets in search results, which will alert researchers and readers to the existence of an article not otherwise known. In addition, Newman Portal is able to fulfill limited requests for copies of selected articles under Fair Use.

Together with the earlier digitization of Coin World, this project will make decades of great numismatic research and writing more easily discoverable by researchers. Welcome to the future. -Editor
