2008 and 2009 ANS Summer Seminar

In June and July of 2008 the ANS is moving into a wonderful new space at One Hudson Square in Manhattan. This means, unfortunately, that the Eric P. Newman Summer Graduate Seminar in Numismatics, usually held during those months, is cancelled for 2008. In June and July of 2009 we shall resume with an expanded seminar that, in addition to teaching students the mechanics and methodologies of numismatics, serves to introduce them to the wider social, historical, and economic context of monetary instruments and systems.

Application materials (due February 13, 2009) and other information for the 2009 Seminar can be found at http://www.numismatics.org/Seminar/Seminar. Information on the history of the Seminar can be found at: http://www.numismatics.org/Archives/GraduateSeminar .

Please feel free to contact the Seminar co-directors,
Peter van Alfen (vanalfen@numismatics.org) or
Richard Witschonke (rickwitschonke@yahoo.com) if you have any additional questions.
