Happy Birthday to us! The first issue of what would become The E-Sylum was emailed on September 4, 1998. All back issues are archived and searchable on our website as well as the Newman Numismatic Portal. Many thanks to our webmaster Bruce Perdue for keeping the archive up-to-date and to John Nebel for his longtime generosity in hosting the web site at no cost to the club. This wonderful resource would not be possible without their help.
