Newman Portal Search Hints

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.

For additional assistance, please email us at NNPCurator@wustl.edu.

Southern Gold Society Newsletters on Newman Portal

Courtesy of David Crenshaw, the Southern Gold Society (SGS) newsletters for 2025 are now available on Newman Portal. The (SGS) is devoted to the study and appreciation of gold coins produced in the American South. Its primary focus is on coins from the branch Mints - Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans - as well as early private minters such as the Bechtler family and Templeton Reid. The society serves collectors, historians, and enthusiasts who are interested in the historical context, production, and collecting of these coins, which are closely tied to early American gold rushes and regional history. They may be contacted at contactus@southerngoldsociety.org.
