The E-Sylum: Volume 1, Number 11, December 14, 1998, Article 4ONLINE INDEXING MARCHES FORWARDBuried in a November 23th Press Release from the American Numismatic Association was something that ought to be welcome news to numismatic bibliophiles, particularly those of us with a primary interest in U.S. numismatics. "Through the generosity of the Harry Bass Fund… a new project involves the digital indexing of Coin World and Numismatic News, including the date, title, author, lead paragraph and page number of each article in every issue of the periodicals. This project was initiated by and is under the oversight of ANA Research Librarian Jane Colvard…" This very subject is something I discussed recently with Robert Van Ryzin of Krause Publications during his visit to Pittsburgh for the P.A.N. show last October. It is sorely needed, and will be a true boon to numismatic researchers. So many wonderfully researched and written articles have appeared in the pages of these publications, only to be lost due to the lack of a proper index. Thanks to the foresight and generosity of the late Harry Bass, an index is finally underway. Thanks, Harry, Jane, and all involved.
