David Hill of the ANS submitted this update on the online cataloging of the Society's archival holdings. This is great source material for numismatic researchers, and this effort helps make the collections more accessible. Thanks!

I'm the archivist at the American Numismatic Society. A little over a year ago you were kind enough to publish in E-Sylum (v.12, no. 40, 10/4/2009 ) information that my predecessor, Joe Ciccone, had sent regarding brief descriptions of archival collections on our website.
I'm happy to say that we have been building on the great work that Joe accomplished, and we now have detailed biographical and content descriptions available online for most of the collections of personal papers.
In addition, the collections have been fully cataloged in ANS's new library catalog DONUM, which is open and available to anyone.
