== Catalogues of Numismatic Collections ==
== Map of Birth and Death Places ==


For inventories of numismatic collections, it is important to have specific boxes for the collector name and first name (so “Collector’s first name” and “Collector’s name”).
For the "birth and death" map, it would be nice indeed to give a direction. Again, if feasible, I suggest that each line will be coloured from green (birth) to red (death). By the way, this map is just taking some 50 names, not the full corpus (I tried without success to get a map for the c. 200 names).

1) To create a field for every reference in the text. Now, as you click on Gotlzius for example, you get the 3 letters written by him but not the many dozens ofletters where he is duly reference. It is important in my mind to create a specific field "Reference" below "Work".
 
2) To leave the possibility to download more than one image (I said up to 10 in my preceding mail; I now think that up to 5 could be a good measure).
 
3) to create a field for "Primary literature": i.e. printed work written by the concerened person.
 
4) to create a filed for "Secondary literature": i.e. recent scholarly literature devotedto the concerend person.
 
5) make the line indicating the space between birth and death less bold and, ideally, with an arrow giving the direction (we may refine with a line starting in gree and ending in red but that is possibly due to my notorious kitsch attraction).

It would be much nicer to reduce the size of the images used for single items (pen and letter) and to modify the colour (I propose green since that is the scale of progression used otherwise: green-yellow-red). As they are (large and in black), single items are now attracting the eye more than they should.

Map of Birth and Death Places

For the "birth and death" map, it would be nice indeed to give a direction. Again, if feasible, I suggest that each line will be coloured from green (birth) to red (death). By the way, this map is just taking some 50 names, not the full corpus (I tried without success to get a map for the c. 200 names).

direction is not possible at the moment, sorry. Map of Birth and Death Places now shows everything. Should I still do spearate maps, as indicated earlier? --Bkrabina (talk) 17:36, 19 August 2019 (CEST)
