The NNP library, at the heart of our project is a growing database of all numismatic literature and documents we can digitize.
Rub shoulders with our huge database of numismatic figures from authors to Mint directors to coin designers.
A growing database of numismatic images contributed by collectors and institutional partners.
Newman Portal searches from the home page are exact text only. If you enter multiple words, it will search for that entire phrase.
If you wish to search for multiple terms all one page, but not in exact order, use the search form at https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/powersearchform. For example, if you wish to locate pages containing the words "Washington," "medal," "birth," and "centennial," enter the search:
ItemContent:Washington AND ItemContent:medal AND ItemContent:birth AND ItemContent:centennial
You can also use Google to search the Newman Portal site. From Google, enter, for example:
"washington medals" site:nnp.wustl.edu
Finally, you can search the Newman Portal document repository directly (https://archive.org/details/newmannumismatic), which, in some cases, will deliver additional results. On this page, check the box "Select text contents" before searching.

Recently added to Newman Portal is a group of photo files compiled by Saul Teichman, which serve as condition censes for important rarities in the U.S. coinage series. This follows on to Teichman’s previous work on the U.S. pattern and territorial gold series. The collected work represents several hundred short monographs in total and serves to quickly identify the best coins of a given issue, or, in many cases, all the coins of a given issue. Teichman is a relentless researcher and has mined auction catalogs, institutional collections, and his own numismatic network to develop these richly detailed guides.
