In a sweeping effort to make its older and
out-of‐print publications available to the public as Open Access, The
American Numismatic Society has partnered with HathiTrust (http://www.hathitrust.org/about).
As a result of this partnership scans of nearly 550 ANS titles –
including the American Journal of Numismatics, Numismatic Literature,
Numismatic Notes and Monographs, and stand-alone monographs have become
fully readable and downloadable to anyone who wants them under a
Creative Commons, non-commercial, attribution, share-alike license.
This means that these ANS publications can be used for personal reading,
research, and academic publication just so long as the ANS is cited as
the source. Titles currently in the public domain – already have a home
on HathiTrust. These volumes were OCR-scanned as part of the Google
Books project.
HathiTrust, founded in 2008 by the member universities of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation and the University of California, is a large, collaborative repository of digital content from research libraries and publishers that includes content digitized by Google Books and Internet Archive and Microsoft. Millions of volumes are available via HathiTrust’s website (http://www.hathitrust.org). The entire repository can be full-text searched.
The ANS publications have been organized into a single collection for easy searching: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/mb?a=listis;c=1850525919.
