HOME > THE SOCIETY > LIBRARY
The Society has an excellent reference library of numismatic literature, with over 16,000 books, periodicals and sales catalogues. It is combined with that of the Royal Numismatic Society and is housed in the Warburg Institute. Although the Society transitions to a Monday meeting date from January, the Library open day remains as Tuesday, but the opening hours are now from 12 noon to 5pm. Our Librarian, Bradley Shepherd, is seeking to recruit a couple more volunteers to join the roster of invigilators who oversee the Library on Tuesday afternoons, so if you would like to help, and perhaps conduct your own numismatic research at the same time by consulting volumes on our shelves, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

While all items are for reference only and may not be borrowed, there are facilities within the Warburg Institute to photocopy or scan suitable material. For enquiries regarding library holdings please contact the Librarian. |
