ANS MEMBER CIRCULARS DIGITIZEDThe latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is a collection of American Numismatic Society member biography questionnaires. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor 
American Numismatic Society Member Circulars Digitized Scanning of ANS library and archival materials, sponsored by Newman Portal, continues at a brisk pace. Recently scanned were a set of about a hundred ANS member questionnaires, c. 1890. These circulars include rich biographical information and will be useful to students of ANS and numismatic history. The entry for Emmanuel J. Attinelli will be of special interest to bibliophiles, as he wrote the first substantive bibliography of American numismatic literature, Numisgraphics, in 1875. Attinelli, a physician, was clearly proud of his American-Italian heritage and Old World noble roots. The document is signed by Attinelli's wife, who wonders if the Society might take some relics off her hands, said to have originated from catacombs in Italy.
