The Heberden Coin Room enters the 21st century thanks to the Ronus Foundation, which generously sponsored the creation of this website.
Public access to the coin collection was massively transformed in 2009 through the new galleries and the Study Room. The priority now is to transform virtual access to the collection in the same way.
We are currently digitizing the collection with the help of teams of volunteers registered with the University's Volunteer Service. We are also now developing this website to make basic data available to experts – professional and amateur – around the world, both for their own research and interest, but also so that they can add descriptions and classifications for online publication.
