<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 3066306, member: 54140&quot;]Sites like these often seem like the pet projects of the academics who work at some of the universities. I fully support academics who choose to do this (mainly because I benefit from it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) it is just that they often don&#039;t have the background in web design and the website, while moderately functional, becomes no where near ideal.&nbsp; Hopefully they take the time to maintain and improve it since these sites often seem to be created and then get forgotten about once the academic moves on.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one that comes to mind for me is the Coins and Currency Collections from the Special Collections of the University of Notre Dame Libraries: <a href="https://coins.nd.edu/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.nd.edu/" rel="nofollow">https://coins.nd.edu/</a>. It looks like they received funding back in the day to make a website and have not updated or modernized it since. It is still a good resource if you are interested in American Colonial Coins</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a big fan of the digitization of archives I just wish they weren&#039;t so unwieldy most of the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
