The database provides free online access to items in the extensive collections of art and artifacts from prehistory to the present day, allowing digital visitors around the world to browse, research and enjoy Seton Hall University\u2019s rich past through works of art and artifacts. The database allows users to customize searches to meet their needs and preferences. Users can browse objects using the random image search<\/a>.

The advanced search function<\/a> target specific fields and collections to receive more precise results.

In all, there are 261 individual objects in the new collections portal and there will be regular updates to include as much of the collections as possible. The initial release includes a wide selection of Roman, Greek and Byzantine coins from the D\u2019Argenio Collection of Coins and Antiquities, donated by alumnus Ron D\u2019Argenio. D\u2019Argenio became interested in ancient coins when taking courses in Greek drama and history as an undergraduate at Fordham University in the 1970\u2019s. In 2001, he generously donated his collection to Seton Hall University in memory of his father, Rinaldo J. D\u2019Argenio, who served in World War II and was awarded a Bronze Star for his valor.<\/p>\n
