NUMISTA ADDS LITERATURE SECTIONFounded by Xavier Rogé in 2007, Numista is one of the oldest numismatic sites on the internet. Christopher Blackington and Dzmitry Huletski passed along information about the new Numista numismatic literature section. Thank you! This could prove very useful, and I encourage readers to consider contributing. NOTE: these are bibliographic listings, not digital versions of books. Currently some 4205 books and periodicals, 328 articles and 2,462 authors and editors are listed. -Editor Christopher Blackington writes: "E-Sylum readers may be interested to know that Numista is now including numismatic literature in their database. Users can also log the books they have in their libraries. "I think this a fantastic addition to Numista and I've already added a few volumes to the catalog myself!" 
Numista, renowned for its extensive global database of over 800k varieties of coins, banknotes, tokens, and medals, has recently launched a dedicated Literature section. This new addition includes numismatic books, journals, and scholarly articles, expanding its offerings to serve researchers and enthusiasts. Key Features The literature section features a searchable database of publications covering various aspects of numismatics, from historical catalogues to academic papers. Operated collaboratively, community members can contribute new entries, ensuring a comprehensive resource. Each entry provides essential details such as title, author bios, publishers, publication year, and edition. Entries are categorized by topic, like coins of the United States or 19th-century French medals, with download links available where possible. Numista invites numismatic authors to keep track of your bibliography in our database! Innovative Integration An innovative integration with Numista's coin catalogue allows seamless navigation between coin references and related literary sources. Additionally, users can manage their personal collections through "My Bookshelf" facilitating easy access to their stored books and journals. This expansion underscores Numista's commitment to advancing numismatic knowledge, enriching its platform for global numismatic research and dissemination of knowledge. I like the inclusion of book cover images. The visuals make for a pleasant interface. -Editor 
While implementation is spotty given the crowdsourced nature of the site, the integration of individual numismatic item entries with the associated catalog is a nice feature. Here's an example of 1967 Canadian Centennial Medallions on the site. -Editor
