I know this is an old topic but searching the MMD archives I didn't see
exactly what I was looking for.
I am in the process of cataloging my 450 or so 88-note rolls, and before
I spend hours typing in the info I thought I'd see what I could learn
from those who have gone before me in this endeavor. I am creating this
catalog for the following reasons:
1. I've finally reached the point where I cannot positively say whether
or not I own a particular roll. I'd like to have a list of all the
titles.
2. As I move the rolls from various boxes to a storage cabinet it will
make it easier to put them in alphabetical order (i.e. make it easier to
find them in the future).
3. If I had a list I could put it on the web and perhaps solicit trades,
etc. If other people did this it would be interesting to browse (and
perhaps extract data from) their catalogs.
I am not a "collector," but like all of us when I see a really good deal
on used rolls that I don't have and that sound intriguing, I have a hard
time passing them up. I
What I am looking for is:
- What have people used their catalogs for? What fields have been the
most useful?
- What fields are used in the "rollographies?" (I've never seen one of
these) Is there a precedent that would be good to follow? Keep in mind
this is just for my personal use, I'm not running a museum or anything.
- Are there any roll catalogs on the web?
Thanks,
Dave Miller
