V4 2001 INDEX       E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 36, September 3, 2001, Article 11 NUMISMATIC PERIODICAL INDEXING Concerning the International Numismatic Commission's Survey of Numismatic Research, Bob Knepper writes: "I would like to hear a little more about the contents of these books. I am often looking for obscure info about German, and other, coins and jetons from about 1540 to 1800. I haven't yet checked to see if the books are available at the ANA library." On the same subject, Granvyl G. Hulse, Jr. writes: "There is an old adage that just because one has not seen an item it doesn't mean that it does not exist. Please extend my thanks to Bob Leonard for updating me on the continuing efforts of the International Numismatic Commission. I had just not seen anything after the 1985-90 volumes and presumed erroneously that they had given up. They are indeed excellent references, and if an attempt is ever made to prepare a master numismatic subject index those volumes must be at hand. Which now begs the question, "What is to be done?" Is this to be one of those re-occurring discussions where everyone laments the lack of a master numismatic periodical subject index, and then quietly fold their tents until the subject is brought up again, to again lament on the lack, and once more let it ride, or is there some way the project could actually be started now? According to Parade Magazine I have only seven and a half years to live (if you hit seventy in good health you will live to 80.) By the time I go shouting home to glory I would dearly like to see the master subject index project, not only duly and truly launched, but useable."
