Financial History, the quarterly publication of the Museum of American Finance, has been added to the Newman Portal. Published since 1978, Financial History is a rich source of economic history often featuring numismatic connections. The Spring 2017 issue featured Michael Martorelli's “Cathedrals of Coinage” (a history of US Mint locations), while the Summer 2016 issue included an article by National Numismatic Collection Curator Ellen R. Feingold on “Women and Money,” featuring women on coins and paper money. The Museum of American Finance is an overlooked numismatic destination in New York, conveniently located in Manhattan at 48 Wall Street, and well worth visiting.
The Newman Portal acknowledges Kristin Aguilera, Deputy Director of the Museum of American Finance, and David Hill, American Numismatic Society Librarian, for their assistance with this project.
