2026 ANA SUNDMAN LECTURE SPEAKERS SOUGHT

 

Submissions are being accepted for the Maynard Sundman/Littleton Coin Company Lecture Series, taking place during the American Numismatic Association's (ANA) Pittsburgh World's Fair of Money, August 25-29. The theme this year is "Striking Independence: 250 Years of American Numismatics," which focuses on how money tells the story of the United States from 1776 to today.

Topics can be wide-ranging but should focus on early struggles with coinage and reliance on foreign money to the evolving imagery, language, and innovation found on American coins and paper money. New, original research will be prioritized. Only four proposals will be selected.

Event Details
The Symposium will be held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center on Wednesday, August 26, 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

To present, submit a summary of your lecture proposal (500 words max) by April 13, 2026, to Douglas Mudd at mudd@money.org. The summary must contain an introduction, a brief discussion of the subject, sources, and research method. Presenters will be notified if they have been selected by April 20. Selected presenters will receive a $250 honorarium and can attend the Sundman Series Luncheon free of charge.
