WEB SITE: DIGITAL LIBRARY NUMIS Bruce Perdue submitted this web site. Hosted in the Netherlands, it's a marvelous compilation of links to online numismatic literature. -Editor  Welcome to Digital Library Numis (DLN). This website is aimed to provide a major portal and digital archive for numismatic books and articles on coins, medals and related subjects, which can be consulted here online. The main body of this project consists of a variety of beautifully illustrated classics produced from the 16th until the 20th century, but you will also find here many publications from a more recent date. This work is still under construction und will be updated on a regular basis. Wow! Someone's done a lot of legwork. There are hundreds of online books in all languages here, quite a library in itself. Here are just a few examples that caught my eye. QUICK QUIZ: What's YOUR favorite item in this collection? Why? There are no right or wrong answers, but check it out. CAUTION: the pages tend to load slowly, so be patient. -Editor  Index: Outerbridge, Alexander E. Title: Curiosities of American coinage Published: [Philadelphia] : [the author], [1898] Note: Extract from: Bulletin of the Museum of Science and Art, University of Penna 4 (1898) 1  I'm familiar with most of the 19th century works on U.S. numismatics, but I don't remember coming across this one before. Interesting item from an obscure journal - just the sort of thing to pop up out of the woodwork as more and more of the world's libraries are digitized. Another rare item is shown below - an 1887 Maryland Historical Society paper on the National Medals of the United States. I believe this was referenced in the recent books on the subject. -Editor  Index: McSherry, Richard Meredith 1842-1898 Title: The national medals of the United States : a paper read before the Maryland Historical Society / by Richard M. McSherry Published: Baltimore : Maryland Historical Society, 1887  Index: Andorfer, Karl Title: Musica in nummis : beschreibendes Verzeichnis von Medailleurarbeiten auf Musiker (Komponisten, Virtuosen, Musikschriftsteller, Instrumentenmacher etc.) ferner Sänger und Sängerinnen vom XV.
