Maximum Effort: The ANS Moves to Varick Street
by Peter van Alfen and Alan Roche
Practice makes perfect, or so the saying goes. For the second time in four years, the ANS staff moved 12,000 trays of coins and over 100,000 volumes of books, plus all of the furniture, computers, supplies, and ancillary hardware that keep the Society up and running. While the previous move went smoothly, this move was a model of efficiency, planning, and hard work on the part of the entire staff. Here for your enjoyment are some photos from moving day.
