Over 40 Years of The Shekel, The Journal of Israel & Judaic History & Numismatics, Available on Website of the American Israel Numismatic Association
In his President’s Message in the January-February 2014 issue of The Shekel, The Journal of Israel & Judaic History & Numismatics, Mel Wacks announces that all of the past issues of the Shekel (from 1968-2010) can be read on the website of the American Israel Numismatic Association at www.theshekel.org/articles.html, giving members, hobbyists, researchers and millions of people around the world access to what is now essentially “The Encyclopedia of Israel and Judaic Numismatics.”
Wacks indicates that “We owe a debt of gratitude to hundreds of our expert writers and especially to Dr. Thom Curtis, Department of Sociology, University of Hawaii at Hilo and his team of volunteer sociology students --Michael Sado, Ian Mitchener, Jodi Vierra, and Koran Munafo—who performed the time-consuming tasks of scanning and reformatting each issue. Each issue is being digitized in high resolution as a .pdf file so that it can be viewed as it was originally published with photos, graphics and advertisements intact. These files are searchable so readers will be able to use the search feature to identify articles containing keywords of interest.”
For those who prefer to read the latest issues of The Shekel, the bimonthly full-color award-winning magazine, are available for dues of $25 per year in U.S., or $35 Overseas sent to AINA, PO Box 20255, Fountain Hills, AZ 85269, or call 818-225-1348. Members also receive free annual medal.
