So... they've upped the ante.
The evil geniuses at ANA have been working overtime!
I dropped my ANA membership over 15 years ago, and figured I'd never go back.
This will be hard to resist.
Glad to hear the plan is working!
On top of this, look for special membership signup / renewal incentives coming soon in honor of our 125th anniversary!

Instead, all issues will be able to be searched which seems to be a much more labor-intensive undertaking. Will be great to be able to search a term and quickly see every time it ever showed up in the magazine! Can't wait to try it out.
I have just about every copy of The Numismatist going back to the 1920s and many older copies going back to about 1906... takes up a ton of space and is not easy at all to find things by actually flipping through all of those old issues!
I hope the ANA continues to digitize numismatic resources and make them available. Would be great for some of the old and rare books to be available like this too, at least start with the old stuff where the copyrights have expired.
Good work!

I am glad that the Board has FINALLY supported this. It was pitched to them by staff as early as 2006, but fell on deaf ears.

Your're welcome for the idea.

Kudos to the ANA for putting The Numismatist online!
By the way, whatever happened to the B***** Index?
I remember it working a couple of years ago, but it doesn't seem to be operational anymore.

Solved my registration problem. When you enter in your membership number in the poorly-named "subscription reference" field you have to leave off the alphabetical prefix such as LM- or R- or P-.
FWIW I did a test search of "Elder" and got 25 pages of results, about five of which were my article on Elder tokens. However, the results are scattered chronologically, which makes it hard to sift through them. I contacted the host and was told that the search engine arranges them according to relevancy. Since many of the hits were just Elder's name in an ad I don't know how it calculates that.
The PDF printouts of the pages are fabulous. Needed to get a copy of a specific article for a story I am doing and just printed it for reference.
However, when I tried printing out the OCR-read text only file just to see how it worked, I got a lot of gibberish because that particular article had illustrations set in the middle of two columns and the OCR reader combined the text of the cutline in with the adjacent text of the story, but only up to the place even with the right margin of the left-hand column. The rest of the cutline text got scrambled into the text from the right-hand column.
Also, where it read a subhead that read "Sovereign Fakes" it printed out "Overei n a es," ignoring the letters that went above or below the main type height.
Still a great tool!
