The Newman Numismatic Portal has reached an important milestone. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor
The Newman Numismatic Portal (NNP) has reached a milestone of one million scanned pages, representing over 13,000 documents. The million mark was exceeded in March 2017 during the scanning of the
extensive run of Stack's Bowers auction sale catalogs. This particular series begins in 1935 and includes nearly 800 sales, of which 99% have now been scanned. The Newman Portal acknowledges
Stack's Bowers for sharing this content and for allowing it to be made freely available through NNP. We also thank our scanning partners at the American Numismatic Society (ANS), Librarian David
Hill and Internet Archive associate John Graffeo, who scanned many of the early catalogs in this extensive series. Finally, ANS Trustee Dan Hamelberg made available Stack's material form his
unparalleled library.
