About Us
NUMiD was founded in 2015 as a 'Network of University Coin Collections': a collaborative research and digitisation network in the field of academic numismatics. The Group is characterized by a close interaction of museum and university coin collections.
In its current form of an academic collaboration project, NUMiD comprises more than 40 coin collections at over 30 universities. We are working closely together with the Coin Cabinet of the Berlin State Museums as our non-university project partner in order to support the digitization of the partner collections on the basis of a joint digitization strategy. The partner collections within the network have their own digital coin cabinets with a common database structure and a common set of norm data. The operation of the individual digital coin cabinets, however, is in the responsibility of the individual collections.
As a joint gateway of the NUMiD group, the website numid.online allows a query across all connected digital coin cabinets.
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) supports a research and digitization project of the NUMiD group in the period from 1.4.2017 to 31.3.2021 via the funding scheme "Vernetzen – Erschließen – Forschen. Allianz für universitäre Sammlungen".
All important information about the 'Network of German University Coin Collections' can be found at numid-verbund.de.
