In a sweeping effort to make its older and out-of‐print publications available to the public as Open Access, The American Numismatic Society (ANS) has partnered with HathiTrust (http://www.hathitrust.org/about).
As a result, 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 attribution-non-commercial-share-alike license. This means that these ANS publications can be used for personal reading, research and academic publication as 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.
