PLEASE SEE http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ace+collection WHICH IS ON OUR OWN RESOURCE tHE fORUM lIBRARY ...cHECK OUT THE EXHIBITS RIGHT HERE!...

FOR THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT SEE http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ICTORIA+aLBERT

For The British Museum see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...BRITISH+MUSEUM

I find it very interesting...and fascinating that exhibits include examples on almost all of the important discussions over the past months on Forum. A quick dive into these three resources(and there are many more) will give steerage on most of the content basics in very nearly all the threads lined up across a broad spectrum... Thank you in advance to anyone more interested in the other exhibits but I only meant to illustrate the concept ...

It occured to me that such collections could be possibly placed at Post 1...so that Forum authors could automatically refer to these resources in the form of a simple to use "Bibliography in reverse"... in developing this theory it would seem possible to actually provide an automatic bibliography at the beginning of each thread..

...and as an example here is one which Cathey provided at Post 1 on Scottish Basket Hilts ...at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ottish+Baskets

But let me be clear that I advocate and suggest provision of a bibliography based upon library resources so that it can be automatically generated by Forum Admin...using a basic program(algorithm) to generate ...into the initial thread at each #1.
