Numismatics Online: Changing the World of Research and Collecting

Instructor: Peter van Alfen

In recent years there have been a good number of digital resources for numismatics appearing online, many of them launched by the American Numismatic Society (ANS). In the first part of this talk, I discuss how these resources were developed at the ANS, how they function, and how they are serving to transform aspects of collecting and research. In the second part, I survey additional online resources and point to what we can expect in the years to come.
