AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY CATALOG

  The Real Dave Bowers forwarded a publication of the
  American Antiquarian Society, which included an item
  about the society's updated online catalogue of its
  extensive collection.   They call it ISAIAH, for
  Internet Sources for Access to Information on American
  History.  Over 350,000 records are included in the index.
  I would invite all researchers on American numismatic
  topics, especially colonial era numismatics, to submit their
  favorite search terms and see what turns up.  One never
  knows what treasures await.  For example, a talk at the
  recent American Numismatic Society Coinage of the
  Americas Conference (COAC) discussed two previously
  unreported specimens of 1792 quarter patterns among the
  collections of the New-York Historical Society, where
  they resided for decades generally unknown to
  numismatists.     One quick ISAIAH search uncovered a
  entry for a 1705 document by the governor of Massachusetts:
  "His Excellency, Joseph Dudley Esq. ... A proclamation. :
  Whereas Her Majesty by her royal proclamation, for
  settling and ascertaining the current rates of foreign coines,
  in Her Majesties colonies and plantations in America"
