Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles
The Sylloge of the Coins of the British Isles (SCBI) is an ongoing project to publish all major museum collections and certain important private collections of British coins. Catalogues in the series contain full details and illustrations of each and every specimen. Every Anglo-Saxon and Norman coin included in the project can be viewed on the ''SCBI'' Database, based at the Department of Coins and Medals, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
==History==
The project was first suggested in the early 1950s by Christopher Blunt and other members of the British and Royal Numismatic Societies. In 1956, its unofficial committee secured recognition as a committee of the British Academy through the good offices of its first chairman, Sir Frank Stenton. The first volume, on Anglo-Saxon Coins in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (prepared by Philip Grierson), was published two years later in 1958.
Since that date over sixty additional volumes have been published, covering both museum and some significant private collections in Britain,〔Although the original idea to catalogue the great Lockett collection, sold over five years between 1955 and 1960, was never developed.〕 the United States, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Latvia and more. Further volumes are in preparation or projected for the future. The key gaps in the series remain the British Museum and the Royal Coin Collection in Stockholm. Both of which present massive undertakings and have only recently begun to be tackled comprehensively.〔SCBI 8 covering Anglo-Norse coins and SCBI 34 some 10th Century coins were early attempts to tackle the British Museum collection. SCBI 63 has recently been published covering the earliest holdings of Anglo-Saxon coins in the and volumes are planned for Southern England between the reigns of Offa and Alfred and for Henry II. SCBI 11, 40 and 54 covered Stockholm's holdings from Harold I to the early Normans but the huge holdings of the coins of Aethelred II and Cnut, last systematically listed by Hildebrand in 1881, have yet to be tackled.〕 Some of the early volumes, such as that covering the Cambridge collection, are also now in need of substantial updating.〔Although the pre-10th Century material was updated in Medieval European Coinage Volume I - The Early Middle Ages (5th to 10th Centuries - by P Grierson and M Blackburn when it was published in 1986.〕 Nonetheless, British numismatics has been extremely well served by the project, and it continues to publish volumes almost every year.
