BRITISH MUSEUM SCHOOL PRIZE MEDALS ONLINE

This announcement is timely because we were just discussing school prize medals in the last two E-Sylum issues. A note in the August 2017 issue of the Money & Medals newsletter announces a new catalogue of school prize medals at the British Museum. -Editor

CAMBRIDGE NEW SCHOOL 1808 REWARD OF MERIT MEDAL OBVERSE

Prize Medals Online
Due to a generous grant from the Marc Fitch Fund, catalogue entries and images of the British Museum’s collection of more than one thousand school prize medals are now available online at www.britishmuseum.org/ research/collection_online/search.aspx. These medals range from individually engraved pieces to works by well- known medallists and range from the 18th to the 20th century. Very soon they will be joined by similar records of the Museum’s collection of around 2,500 medals issued as awards and prizes by a broad range of other institutions, including agricultural, temperance and friendly societies, livery companies, arts organisations, masonic and sporting bodies, as well as official civil and military awards. This second phase has been made possible thanks to the generosity of the Mercers’ Company.
