Re: [lace] Central Repository of Errata - brilliant idea!
I miss Vibeke very much, she was a wonderful mentor. I have the resources and platform to contain the information, but I will definitely need one or more volunteers to get it set up. Once it is set up, I have the bandwidth to keep it updated with our current volunteer base. If anyone is interested and has a bit of time to donate, please let me know, I think this would be a very worthwhile project.

Re: [lace] Central Repository of Errata - brilliant idea!
Some of you will remember Vibeke Ervo who sadly died five years ago. As someone who was involved in publishing and book indexing she very much wanted to get an online errata project going and back in 2003 had even put together a list of errata in Pat Earnshaw’s books and started to gather others. She was working with someone who later dropped out. At this point David and I offered to help get things online but it never got any further. I can’t remember exactly what happened but I think Vibeke had to find a new job which limited the time available. I do still have the errata she sent me. This is something that interests me too (I have errata for my Lace Guild books on my website) and I’d love to offer to help but at the moment I have other things taking up my time.

Re: [lace] Central Repository of Errata - brilliant idea!
This is something which The Lace Museum could connect to our archive. The archive was my pet project before I had to take over as managing director, and things have gotten settled enough that I began working in the archive last January. There are several hosting options I have available and I will need to think through which one would be most advantageous. We are a member of the California Online Archive which is run by the UC system. You can look here and find us as a member: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ I have a librarian who is helping us with file structure and has put a few files up on the archive as we work our way through. Because institutions can fail just as businesses do, I try to make sure things are always in as many places as possible in case one fails. We can certainly list on this archive and have it publicly available, but we also have the bandwidth to have it on our site. It would make sense to share the information with the IOLI library as well. I will take some time to think about the "safest" way to have this put together so that once it is put together it stays publicly available. That said, I will need a volunteer to organize the content. Sue, is this something you are interested in? Since we are run entirely on volunteer hours and donations I have to be careful to never start a new project with out proper volunteers in place or the project will not happen.

[lace] Central Repository of Errata - brilliant idea!
Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com http://babbsandbaobabs.blogspot.com/ Susan Hottle had the brilliant idea of a “Central Repository of Errata” for lace books. This would be so helpful to all of us. It would be a great way for authors to communicate with their readers - and for lacemakers who had discovered errors to report them to authors for future editions. I'm hoping that some lace organisation (OIDFA, IOLI, Lace Guild etc) would consider hosting such a list on their websites, and then the rest of the organisations could link to that one page. Any representatives of lace websites willing to take up the idea please?
