From the beginning of the printed word, records about them have been kept. Their form soon coalesced into a common understanding that title, author, date and place published identifies most printings. Since then, not much has changed, until now.
Until now, search logic was used to penetrate catalogues and databases with three or more of these:
By author name
By title
By subject
And by date
And these identifiers still work fine. However, we’re in the earliest moments when collectible paper will dominate the field. Searching by title and author will sometimes work but often won’t. To resolve this issue we’re adding a category search that is based on terms that have been consistently employed to identify specific categories, within the 34,875 auctions our data relies on.
Our first is MAPS. Within Transactions+ we are currently providing 14,598,183 records, which include 1.257 million records that provide a detailed auction history for and about maps that occurred over the past 175 years.
For the maps collector, this slice of our database costs $250 a year.
While we focus on the past, we are also looking at the unfolding present. To do this we’re linking the Maps category with a MatchMaker style service that will identify all upcoming lots that meet our category criteria. When lots meet our database criteria, we’ll post a hot link for paid services members.
To find Categories, it’s now a link on the toolbar. You’ll find Maps now and soon after a lengthening list of categories, with their related upcoming lots.
Welcome to the new world.
