  A HANDBOOK FOR NUMISMATIC CURATORS?
  

  Doug Andrews writes: "I have a friend who has recently become curator
  of a large numismatic collection. Although she is a museum professional,
  she has no background in numismatics. Can E-Sylum readers suggest any
  book titles or online resources that would be helpful to her, covering
  preservation of numismatic collections, or other curatorial topics
  related to coins and notes? Thank you."
  

  I asked Dick Doty at the Smithsonian and he writes: "As for beginning
  literature, the best single introductory thing ever written on
  numismatics as such (according to me) is 'Numismatics', by Philip
  Grierson (It's available in hardbound and paperback). My own early
  publications ('Coins of the World', 'Money of the World', 'Paper Money
  of the World') would be useful in terms of the scope of numismatics,
  as would Joe Cribb's 'Coin Atlas'. But Grierson's still best for a
  beginning curator. As for conservation and registrarial issues,
  however, other readers may have some good suggestions. I don't."
