jlueke Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 One could probablly do old catalogs relatively easily, especially if there's no need to make the text searchable, just page after page. For newer stuff, like anything else, copyright law can be a pain especially when the holders are long gone. Sometimes I wonder if having the Numismatisst Vol.1-6 be downloadbale could be offset by Google ad revenue. Probably not by itsself, but downloadable scanned material might be content that would draw more traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's going to be a matter of time when such "jpg" texts can be text searchable. *Horror* but not impossible. It would be neat if such old catalogue books are viewable online. You can't just possibly buy them any longer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 You mean like this: http://catalogs.google.com/catalogs?q=coin...Search+Catalogs Yes like that, but with a better interface For me some ancient catalogs from the 40's and 50's woule be great to see. The stuff from the last 5 years or so is mostly online allready and pdf's can be downloaded from the dealer's sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Some interesting articles I came across, thought I might as well share. They are some high level academic materials and I honestly struggled to go through the whole material Do read them when you have time, it has quite a fair bit of interesting articles in it. http://trajan.numizmat.net/science.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manfred Schreiner also did analysy on some the the Sasanian coins in the new SNS put out by the Akademie in Vienna. He's also done other testing. It does appear that this site is violating the international copyright laws however . I know I have to pay about $30 to get access to the NIM-B articles and most of the articles appear recent and it seems doubtful the web host acquired free redistribution rights.

gxseries Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Files are hosted on a Russian server. Geez, that sure explains a lot of things. Nevertheless, I did learn quite a lot of interesting infomation though. Only if there is such thing as an e-library... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 You will find 23 books online here, including two by Babelon and one by Cohen. http://www.inumis.com/books/index-fr.html (I mentioned them in my Internet Connections column this past April and took me a while to hack through the archives. I should have mentioned them in Post 1.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 A link for the Numismatic Periodicals Index. The Index is online but alas, the titles tend not to be. http://harrybassfoundation.org/search_numlit.asp Still a good way to find articles that may interest you in the future.

John Hooker Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hello, I have just joined this forum. My own book, Celtic Improvisations, is on line at: http://www.writer2001.com/improvisations.htm The online version preceded the print version: http://www.writer2001.com/CeltImp.htm and, among other things, is a reclassification of Coriosolite coinage. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Thank you, John Hooker, and welcome to the Forum and to Coin People. I printed out the homepage of your website and I will find a way to work it into my monthly column for Numismatist magazine. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Edward J. Waddell created an online presentation of Svoronos's Ptolemaic Coinage. Originally published in Greek (Ta Nomismata tou Kratous ton Ptolemaion), this version has a translation by Catherine Lorber. Click on Svoronos' Ptolemaic .

GDJMSP Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Here is a link for numismatic literature published by the ANS. LINK Here is one for Project Gutenberg - LINK Now you may not think this would be related to numismatics at first glance, but it is. The amount of history and the information about key people that can be found in the books on this site is astounding. It is also searchable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a place that has "The Classics" in online form so that after I read a work in book form I can have an easy way to cut and paste excerpts related to things I care about.

mmarotta Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Here is one for Project Gutenberg ... Thanks for the link! I put it into my Favorites folder If found nothing right away for "numismatic" or 'numismatics" but I did find this searching for COIN: Lives of the Most Remarkable Criminals Who have been Condemned and Executed for Murder, the Highway, Housebreaking, Street Robberies, Coining or other offences ( Collected from Original Papers and Authentic Memoirs, and Published in 1735 EDITED BY ARTHUR L. HAYWARD NEW YORK 1927). You can search the text. So, I looked for "counterfeit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
