RUSSIAN/UKRAINIAN CURRENCY COLLECTION ONLINE

Bill Rosenblum writes: "My son, who is a "digital librarian"
now at the University of Kansas, forwarded this to me. I
thought E-Sylum readers might be interested."

Rita Van Duinen writes: "On behalf of Nadia Zilper, Curator
for Slavic and East European Collections and the Andre Savine
Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill, I am happy to announce the
availability of a new online resource, 'Paper Currency &
Banknotes in the Andre Savine Collection'.

The Paper Currency & Banknotes database features detailed
descriptions and images of over 600 numismatic pieces found
in the Andre Savine Collection. Pieces in the numismatics
sub-collection consist primarily of paper currency and other
forms of scrip such as banknotes, loan obligations, and coupons.
Items featured in this database represent various periods of
Russian history, including rare paper currency issued by the
Russian White Army while in control of southern Russia during
1918-1920.

For Russian and Ukrainian currency in the database, all
descriptive text from both the obverse and reverse sides has
been transliterated from the vernacular according to the
Library of Congress transliteration scheme for Cyrillic
alphabets. In addition to descriptive information, this
database provides both a mid-size and high-resolution
image of the obverse and reverse sides of each piece.

Access to the database is available at the following URL:

[The web site is a database interface, so the collection isn't
easily scrolled through, but querying the database brings
access to individual records with thumbnail images of the
notes. Clicking on the images brings up high-quality full-size
color images of notes in the collection. -Editor]
