This month we are introducing the control panel for Wiki Bibliographers. For members with whom we have reached an agreement on subjects their AE screens now include links to their Wiki controls. This month, for the first time, non-AE personnel will be creating bibliographies. We will only support a single Wiki within a subject focus. That said, most Wikis are relatively narrow. Some will run to 7,000, even 10,000 items but they will be broken into a parts so that, for collectors, they are manageable.
Among the subjects already agreed:
American Pocket Maps to 1860
Audubon Books and Prints
Original Currier & Ives
Paraclete Potter, Poughkeepsie Printer
Rondout & Kingston, New York
Important Texas Maps
The California Gold Rush
19th Century Women in the West
17th century American imprints
Isaac Newton
The "Book Hospital."
Cotton Mather
Joel Munsell, Albany Printer
To be a Wiki Bibliographer you need to be a member. For most members that's an Octavo membership and includes all AE services and control over the Wiki Bibliography[ies] you are managing.
