Useful Links
Here you can find some online resources that may be of use in your research.
Finding Numismatic Literature
All numismatic articles can be keyword searched on the American Numismatic Society website. Use this website to obtain information about what particular articles exist on a topic.
Another good place to look is the L'Année philologique website.
Every six years a Survey of Numismatic Research is published, listing all numismatic publications by subject area. This can be found in the library [CJ 55.S88], but the most recent survey can be found online here. (TIP: keyword search the pdf rather than reading the whole thing!)
