Several of us would really like to link to a catalog results set based on place and subject, for example: Kentucky, Boone - Cemeteries<br>Massachusetts, Suffolk, Boston - Church records | |||
California - History - 1846-1850 | |||
<br>As new things are added to the catalog, they would automatically be on the results list that Wiki would direct people to. That would be easier than for us to remember and find the time to go see what is new for a particular topic and locality. This would be updated when the catalog is updated. | |||
I haven't tried to link by just subject, but there could be times when we would want to do this for books/records, such as: | |||
Pioneers - California | |||
African American Women | |||
Amish | |||
Some books/records are not tied to a locality at all. They can't be found in a Place Search, only by Subject, Author or Title. For example: | |||
- Cleon Skousen's book, The Story of the Mormon Pioneers. The subject headings for this book are 'Pioneers' and 'Mormons - Biography'. | |||
- The Mennonites, by C. Henry Smith only has 'Mennonites' as the subject heading. | |||
So people who don't know the author and title would have a hard time finding them without the link to the Subject results set. Keyword could be useful also. | |||
Currently I don't think we would need the search results by Surname, Title or Author, since we are writing about places and topics/subjects. | |||
