American Bank Note Company Archives: Monetary History and a Rich Research Opportunity
Instructor: Akio Lis
The American Bank Note Company international archives holds a wealth of information about bank note production around the world.
Held by the ANA Dwight N. Manley Numismatic Library, this collection includes information about paper money design, production, and shipment as well as internal correspondence by ABNCo staff.
Some of this correspondence gives insight into the economic and political situations in countries that have achieved independence from former colonial powers. This presentation will include information about the types of documents, research opportunities, and points of access that are available as the ANA library staff and volunteers catalog and digitize these files.
