In better news, I had a REALLY good idea. I realized that it’s actually tremendously easy to save photos from the web to iphoto… and once they’re there they can be tagged. SO… can we say “the contents of mandragore.bnf.fr tagged by garment type?” Or… the ability to make a smart album showing, say, images with women’s chaperones from 1400-1430 sorted by country? This is gonna be FUN. It’ll take a long time before it has enough data in it to be useful, and of course I’d never be able to *share* it really, but STILL… given the number of random images scattered across the web, in wikimedia and random museum sites…
So as I add images, I’m tagging garments (with comments on sleeves, collars, hems, and fastenings), headwear, accessories, decade, country, and genders in the picture. The source and folio, etc, are added if I can get them (and mostly I’m not adding things if I can’t). Is there anything I’m overlooking that I’m gonna regret, once I’m 1K images in?
