American Numismatic Society Links Library Catalog to Internet Archive scans

DONUM view with NNP link highlighted

Sponsored by the Newman Numismatic Portal, over 4,300 documents in the American Numismatic Society (ANS) library have been digitized since November 2015. In addition to being accessible on the Newman Numismatic Portal, these documents are now also available via the ANS online library catalog, DONUM. Library patrons using DONUM will now see “online resources” in the library catalog description, which users may select to be redirected to the scanned document on Internet Archive.

Scanning at the ANS has focused on 19th century and early 20th century American numismatic auction catalogs, and in many cases, duplicate examples exist in the ANS collection, often with unique annotations. DONUM notes this as “link to copy 1,” “link to copy 2,” etc., so that all copies may be accessed by the user. This project was facilitated by David Hill (ANS Librarian), Tomas Arazi (DONUM programmer), Len Augsburger (Newman Portal Project Coordinator), and Jake Johnson (Internet Archive), who oversees the Internet Archive API.
