Contains correspondence sent among standing committee members and others, informational and policy memorandums, agendas, minutes, committee reports, and other materials, most of which appears to have been kept by each committee’s secretary, a position held by an ANS staff member. The committees are otherwise composed mostly of ANS members and occasionally staff members. While agendas and minutes are in some cases present, and somewhat scattered, more detailed types of records often prevail. In the Publications Committee materials, for example, are long letters concerning the publishing of Edward Newell’s collection of Alexander coinage (1944) sent by the Society’s editor, Alfred Bellinger; numerous documents relating to the establishment of the ANS bibliographic series Numismatic Literature (1946-1949); and a copy of a letter from Archer Huntington to Society president Herbert Ives regarding the terms of the loan of Spanish coins from the Hispanic Society of America to the ANS (1946-1949). There are detailed reports in the file of the Reorganization Committee that provide recommendations regarding the offices of curator, secretary, editor, and librarian as well as other matters requiring constitutional and bylaw revisions (1947-1954). A report of the Photographic Committee gives a brief history and overview of the current situation of the photography at ANS (1947, 1949, 1954). There is about a cubic foot of materials relating to the Assets Committee (renamed Collections Committee in 2006), nearly all of which has to do with the Society’s auctioning off of the non-American portion of its collection of medals, orders, and insignias in 2006 and 2007.
