Catalogues

The first catalogues of Uppsala University's Coin Cabinet were made by director Evald Ziervogel in the middle of the 18th century. As the collections grew, new catalogues were compiled by Eric Götlin and his successor Johan Henrik Schröder, among others. With the help of these, we can follow how the collections have developed and sometimes trace individual objects back in time.

The following catalogues are digitalized in Alvin:

1749: Förtekning På The I Augsburgska Cabinettet I Kongl. Academiens Bibliothek i Vpsala, Befintelige Romerske och Graekiske Mynt (Evald Ziervogel)
