Another crazy idea of mine - names database
I have been going through my paper items collection and found the thing I tought I got rid of long time ago - spare medal ID's, filled with names, but by no chance belonging to one person.
So, there is a lot of such things around the world. While numbered awards can be sometimes matched with order booklets (with S/N database here for example), the unnambered awards cannot. What I mean is that You can have an order boklet for one guy, while some of his medal booklets are in the other country, others still in the former USSR - and It is unlikely that You will be ever able to find them. My idea is to increase this probability by craeting a sort of a name database. Not neccesarily the way S/N database works, but just in a separate thread in this forum. My idea is: 1.A thread is created 2.Everyone posts just 1 post in this thread where he/she gives the list of the names of recipents or eg. booklet's owners in transscription (some unified rules would be a good idea) and cyrilic writing, with a remark like "medal booklet", "ID" "Photo" or "other documents" 2.The post can be edited later to add latest aquisitions. 3.If anyone is looking for someone in particular, he/she just uses the search device to check wether that person was listed by someone or just scans through the posts. I know that this idea may sound crazy, but it may rely help to rebuild once-broken groups. I would gladly see any opinions. |
