“Participants of the ONS-meeting in Leiden on Saturday 20 October 2018 in front of the Lipsius-building of the Leiden University.”
The aims of the Society are to promote the systematic study of the coins, medals and currency, both ancient and modern, of India, the Far East, the Islamic countries and their non-Western predecessors. It was founded in 1970 and its membership of almost 600 people are spread over approximately 40 countries.
Membership is individual. It is open to anyone with a genuine interest in the numismatic series of any of these areas. Dealer members are expected to maintain high ethical standards. They are requested to respect the confidentiality of all information provided by the Society; in particular, the list of members is not to be used for the provision of unsolicited sales material. Members are at least required to permit the publication of their names and e-mail address as well as their numismatic interests, the circulation of this information being confidential and restricted to members of the Society. Unlike most societies, O.N.S. has a marginal controlling organisation with no hierarchy of officers. The Editors, Treasurer and Secretaries are the minimum appointments necessary for the production of accurate information and the maintenance of the list of members.
The list of members is intended to provide the initial means of contact between people with a common interest, so that knowledge can be shared. Members are therefore expected to answer all relevant correspondence from other members providing this does not involve too much time. Any group of members may use the network set up by this list to promote any activity which comes within the aims of the Society. In particular members are encouraged to arrange local meetings or study groups on subjects of particular interest.
The Society will from time to time publish material of interest to the members, providing it is accurate and relevant. An Editorial Board advises on the suitability of copy submitted and to commission work where appropriate. Till some years ago two series of papers were produced; a set of Information Sheets and Occasional Papers.
These are replaced now by occasional supplements dealing with a subject in more dept. They are all copyright and available initially to members only. A periodical Journal is circulated four times a year to keep members in touch with current events and publications and to publicise members wants and queries.
The activities of the Society are financed by an Annual Subscription, the amounts being calculated to cover the expected costs of each year’s operations. The Annual Subscription, presently € 30,00, is due at the beginning of each calendar-year. Subscriptions are maintained at the minimum level possible and the extent of activities depends on the support provided by donations. Such support is welcomed and members may like to make donations towards a specific cause or publication.
