"We know of no other numismatic organization that is funding numismatic research and/or publications."

The Society of Paper Money Collectors (SPMC) has been in the forefront of supporting research and publications for over FORTY YEARS when, starting in the 1970's, it helped authors front the costs of publishing updated references on Obsolete Bank Notes. Over the years, about 20 new State references have been published thanks to full or partial funding from SPMC. In addition to Obsoletes, we have helped fund the publishing of several books on National Bank Notes including M. Owen Warns "The Nevada Sixteen" and Peter Huntoon's "Territorials".

Also, as Treasurer of SPMC for the past ten years, I can personally say that, at the direction of our Board of Governors, I have written numerous checks for thousands of dollars to fund research of various types of paper money. Most recently, I sent a check for $5,000 to Peter Huntoon for his on-going research at the National Archives.

You are correct in stating that our grants are broad and open to any numismatic author.
