The Congress is held every year, and next year the numismatic session will be sponsored by the American Numismatic Society (an ad hoc group has organized it for the past 18 years).

The topics at this Congress run the gamut. A printed Proceedings would run to many volumes if all papers were included). Most papers are portions of doctoral dissertations or preliminary chapters from a forthcomingbook. We get to hear many reports well in advance of publication.

The Book Exhibit at the Medieval Congress is totally overwhelming. EVERY new issue from university presses is sold at a significant discount, and many obscure out of print books can be had also. Numismatic books areusually scarce, but I got a fabulous bargain on one this year. There were 11 numismatic papers at this Congress (one delivered by me), seven of them in two dedicated sessions plus four papers scattered in others. Any readerinterested in medieval numismatics is welcome to contact me for more information.
