"Here is a link to a transcription of documents found at the National Archives. The access to these documents was thanks to Mr. Roger W. Burdette and Mr. Len Augsburger who were really kind and sent me a copy of the original documents for me to use for research. They are related to Puerto Rican numismatics and the U.S. Mint. Currently I am working on a research article using these documents. I sent the transcription to NNP so that other numismatists can do their own research using them."
Roger's work at the National Archives is important and groundbreaking. Just getting in there to manually search through box after box after dusty box is tedious and just the beginning. Once useful handwritten documents are located they must be scanned and transcribed before they can be fully discoverable and useable by researchers. But the Newman Numismatic Portal platform makes this great resource accessible to researchers everywhere. Here are some documents as examples of the great information found in this latest batch. Thanks, Ángel!
