Starting point
 growing general interest in
antiquarianism and historiography,
of which numismatics forms an
important part
 developing awareness that,
studies on antiquarian
numismatics have been based
mainly on printed books, which
form only a small portion of the
information available to scholars.

The challenge
Researching manuscript sources: mainly scholarly
correspondence, but also shorter treatises or
manuscripts of books that were never published.
This material is scattered all over the world in
archives and public as well as private libraries and
is largely unknown today; hence, it is frequently
overlooked by scholars.
