Michael - Thanks for the code snippet -- I will take a stab at putting it into practice when I have a few minutes. Ed -- The TGN can be searched for free on a one-off basis by going to http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/ If you want access to the raw data files (such as to load into a cataloging system, provide search capabilities online, or do computerized matching), this requires purchasing a license. But, at least in the case of our organization, the terms were quite reasonable, and the initial license allows us to get updates for five years, and then renew at a reduced rate. -David Dwiggins __________ David Dwiggins Systems Librarian/Archivist, Historic New England 141 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA 02114 (617) 227-3956 x 242 ddwigg...@historicnewengland.org http://www.historicnewengland.org ( http://www.historicnewengland.org/ )

Not that that means it isn't legit conversation on here (because it is) -- but just curious what the current state is. //Ed Visit http://www.LymanEstate.org for information on renting the historic Lyman Estate for your next event - a very special place for very special occasions.
