Is there anyone out there who would be interested in having a common
database for local history purposes? Those individuals and organisations
who use the computer will have a database adapted to their own special
needs but would it not be useful to have, in addition, a second simple
database which could be fed with simple and common facts from the main base
and which could be open to all.
I know that it is far easier said than done. But if we had a common form
with common fields such as:
1 Name
2 Date
` 3 Place/Location
4 Reference
4 Rem 1
5 Rem 2
This could be in a common type, I suggest Access, which could then be read
by anyone. There is far more to the problem than this but if sufficient
people are interested it could be a very useful link between those of
common interest.
Please let me know if you are interested.
