CameoFind works in a very similar way to FotoFind. The difference being that instead of finding whole photos, it finds the personal cameos from all (or 'any' - to be pedantic) of the panoramas. 52, 57 and 62. Grouped and sorted by surname
The best way to access CameoFind from this page is by using the 'Photographs' button in the menu to the left. It is also available through the usual menu structures on the Photo Site
This has involved feeding in about 1,500 surnames along with first names, positions etc. etc. In all we now have over 10,000 pieces of data in the system, available for sorting and selection. It is just possible that there might be a handful (or three ) of errors creeping in at various stages of transcription.
I am going to need help. I can't check every entry personally, and I wouldn't know the correct spelling of every individual's name if I could. While people are looking at items and groups of particular personal interest, if they see any glaring discrepancies I would be pleased if they would let me know. This could be done directly by the site mail system. It would be much more convenient for me though if it could be done through this thread. (You will need to join to post. It's very easy. If needs be someone will help you to begin with, and there is no need to join in anywhere else if you don't want to)
The advantage to me is that it makes a permanent record of the information all in one place. Also one entry very often jogs another person's memory and they make an entry, and so on. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. (Or some equivalent wise saying.)
The other thing that needs attention of course is the "Unnamed" list. These are mainly from the 52 pan, only recently posted. CameoFind though, with ruthless efficiency, now produces a list of unnamed cameos 244 items long. We must be able to do something about that surely?
Thank you
