• Series: General photographs, 1868-ongoing

  Extent

  10 cubic feet (23 boxes)

  Access Restriction:

  Open to outside researchers, but are subject to ANS policies on permission and fees for reproduction and use.

  Scope and Content:

  Contains the prints, negatives, and, for some later years, compact discs of the American Numismatic Society’s general photograph collection, most of which, particularly in the later years, were produced for membership publications. The earliest items are member portraits on cartes de visite (1860s and 1870s) and cabinet cards (1870s-circa 1910). With few exceptions, these are the only original nineteenth-century images in this collection. The decades of the twentieth century up through the 1960s are represented by about 2 cubic feet of pictures on scattered topics, including portraits, numismatic events, exhibits, Medal of Honor recipients (1918-1919), and views of the Society’s Audubon Terrace headquarters, which include the construction of an addition to the building (1929-1930) and ANS exhibition rooms before and after remodeling (1945, 1950s). Beginning in the 1970s, the photographs are more numerous and more comprehensive, many produced for the Society’s newsletter, which began in 1979 and was succeeded by the ANS Magazine in 2002. These show staff, officers, members, students, and awardees at events such as the annual meeting, annual gala, lectures, exhibits, award ceremonies, Summer Seminar, and Coinage of the Americas (COAC) and other conferences. In addition, there are posed staff portraits and images relating to the Society’s move from its Audubon Terrace headquarters at 155th Street to Fulton Street in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Also included are copy negatives and page proofs for Howard L. Adelson’s book, The American Numismatic Society, 1858-1958 (1958), and undated photographs of coins, medals, and decorations.

• Series: Publication acknowledgments, 1878-1908

  Extent

  0.5 cubic feet (2 boxes)

  Scope and Content:

  Letters and completed forms from persons, historical societies, and other associations acknowledging receipt of ANS publications such as proceedings, circulars, printed lectures, and the Society’s constitution and bylaws. Most are perfunctory, though some touch on other matters. A letter (1884) from William Legett Bramhall, one of the Society’s first members (joined November 3, 1858), discusses his desire to start a numismatic society in Washington D.C. and mentions his remaining coin collection housed in three walnut cases obtained from Joseph Levick. Edward Cogan refers to “the [David] Proskey disgraceful fair,” adding, “he deserves to be exposed” (1878).

  Access Restriction:

  Open to all researchers.

  Extent

  1.5 cubic feet (2 boxes)

  Scope and Content:

  Contains questionnaires completed by members on the question of changing the location of the Society’s meetings and efforts to increase the rolls of resident members (1889), completed and blank “circular to members” forms which sought biographical information from members to be used in the event of the member’s death (ca. 1897), forms completed by members in response to a request for information to be used in a new ANS database (1995) and the final draft, compilation of comments, and returned and completed forms from a survey sent to members 2002. The surveys from the 1890s contain a wealth of biographical details. Those from 1995 mostly just provide directory information. The surveys of 2002 mainly gauge use, opinions, and demographics.
