Do your own research at Newman Numismatic Portal 0

Thanks to the Newman Numismatic Portal (NNP) supported by the Eric P Newman Numismatic Education Society, coin collectors  have access to a growing stock of original documents from the U.S. Mint archives held at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

 

A convenient place to start among NNP’s digital collections are:

Record Group 104, Entry 1. Letters sent by the Director beginning 1793 (later, Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint after March 31, 1873).

Record Group 104, Entry 229. Letters received by the Director of the Mint 1873-1938.

Record Group 104, Entry 235. Letters sent by the Director of the Mint 1873-1938.

URL: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/archivedetail/512703

Each is being actively digitized by NNP and new documents added weekly. Collectors may view the documents on-line, download pages, or save entire files in a variety of formats. There is no cost to users.

Further, NNP has digitized thousands of U.S. auction sale catalogs, which may be referenced at https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/auctioncompanies. Periodicals, fixed price lists, and works published serially are in the NNP periodicals section at https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/periodicals.

It is a super resource. I use it almost every day.

I would love to have access to the portal but have been locked out due to conflicting email addresses and password problems. Who can I contact to get this straightened out ?

[RWB]

Send me a PM with your name and email address. I will forward it to the site administrator.

Several new files have been uploaded to NNP. These include entire volumes and file boxes each containing several hundred to over 1,000 pages.

Some of these are not currently visible on NNP due to a scrolling problem in the archive section. They are correctly installed in the database but the user interface has a problem. (If it continues to misbehave the UI will get coal in its christmas stocking...!)
