James T. Martin of Numismatics International submitted this announcement of the online availability of their
organization's publication. Great news - thanks! -Editor
The Numismatics International Bulletin (NI Bulletin) was initially published in 1966, and has continued to be published on a regular
basis for over 50 years. It contains a wealth of important and scholarly information about various numismatic topics.
The NI Bulletins from the current year (2016) are available to members on the NI website (www.numis.org).
However, the earlier issues, from 1966 to 2015, are only available in individual members' libraries or in the NI archives.
Although there has been an index available at the Yahoo Numismatics site, actual copies of articles were only available upon request from the NI
archives, and then a copy could be sent. This was not an efficient way to make available to you the wealth of numismatic information.
The Newman Numismatic Portal (NNP), a non-profit organization housed at Washington University in St. Louis, has the goal to freely share a vast
online store of both printed and virtual numismatic resources. Books, periodicals, as well as online forums and auction offerings are captured in one
location, freely available, and searchable from anywhere in the world. This makes available unprecedented knowledge to collectors and researchers, to
allow greater appreciation for numismatic science. It also allows more clear discernment of fact from fiction.
Numismatics International (NI) is now partnering with the Newman Numismatic Portal. NI has licensed NNP to allow NNP to share the NI
Bulletin issues from 1966 through 2014. Topics can be searched, or whole issues of the NI Bulletin can be reviewed. This is a more
efficient way to make available the huge amount of information which is in the NI archives. When more recent issues of the NI Bulletin are removed
from the NI website, they will be made available at NNP.
We are excited that now NI is able to share its huge library of past NI Bulletins, with a treasure trove of numismatic information. It is
now shared with others who have an interest in numismatics, and hopefully will consider joining NI to receive the current and more recent issues, and
participate in other NI benefits.
If you wish to look at the older issues of the NI Bulletin, they can be found at
