2001 Graduate Seminar

The American Numismatic Society will be holding its Forty-eighth Graduate Seminar in Numismatics at the Museum of the American Numismatic Society from June 18 through July 27, 2001. The purpose of the seminar is to familiarize its students with numismatic methodology and scholarship and to provide them with an understanding of the contributions made by numismatics to other fields of study. Students will also gain extensive practical experience working with coins and other objects and will have use of the Society's comprehensive library resources.

The seminar is an intensive program of study including lectures and seminars conducted by specialists in various fields, preparation and oral delivery of a research paper on a topic, and handling of the ANS coins relating to that topic. Curatorial staff and other experts from this country and abroad will participate in the seminar.

Applications are accepted from students of demonstrated competence who will have completed at least one year of graduate work in history, classical studies, economic history, or other related fields. Applications are also encouraged from junior faculty members with an advanced degree in one of these fields.
