What We Do
History
At the National Banknote Archive, our primary mission is to research, document, and preserve the history of U.S. national banknotes issued between 1863 and 1935. We delve into the stories behind each note—examining issuing banks, signatures, serial numbers, and historical context—to build a clearer picture of America’s banking past. Our work supports scholars, collectors, institutions, and the public by providing accurate, well-researched information that brings the rich legacy of these banknotes to life.
