 ====== Can you help? ======
+==== The Can You Help Database is temporarily unavailable ====
-=== New database for provenance queries ===
+[[https://www.arkyves.org/r/section/him_CERLCANYOUHELP|{{ :resources:provenance:schermopname_1_.png?nolink&250|Go to Can You Help?}}]]
-CERL has developed a new resource for public discussion and identification of provenance problems.
+The Can-You-Help? database was created to help to identify a book plate, a binding stamp, a library label or stamp, or to read and identify an owner's inscription. The first two iterations of these service have now been suspended. \\
-You do not need a login to view items on the database.
+\\
-When you have created a login, you can post queries (including images) and join the discussion on items which have already been displayed.
+The Can-You-Help? forum has found a new home in the [[https://www.cerl.org/resources/provenance/main|CERL Provenance Digital Archive]]. Click on this [[https://www.arkyves.org/r/section/him_CERLCANYOUHELP|link to Can-You-Help? in the CERL PDA]] to see all provenance evidences where we could use your help to identify the former owner. If you have the solution or perhaps a suggestion for further research, please click on the image. In the record that is then shown, you can leave your comments in a text box which you find in the top right of your screen.
-To use the database:
+Queries posted on the Can-You-Help? database until 2009 are available. For further information, go [[:resources:provenance:can_you_help|here]]. CERL plans to migrate queries posted on the Can-You-Help? database between December 2009 - August 2018 to the CERL Provenance Digital Archive. Because of GDPR concerns, CERL can only migrate this information with the expres permission of those who originally posted the query. As you can imagine, this is a slow process.

+===== Old provenance queries =====
-  *  Click on an image or its title to view a full record;
-  *  To post a new query or to add a comment to the discussion, login (name and password) or create a new login if you do not already have one;
-  *  Click on //New query// (menu at top right) to create a new query;
-    *  Enter as much detail about the item as possible;
-    *  Include a link to an image if possible;
-    *  //Note//: insert a link to the image, **not** to the page where the image is located: right-click on the image and select "Copy image location" (or similar, depending on your browser/language, etc.)
-  *  To add a comment, select the full record and then "//Click here to post a comment//".
-  * When your query has been satisfactorily answered, please logon again, edit the record and mark it as solved.
->  **Note**: the database is still under development. Not all facilities are yet working, e.g. the //Help// menu.
+The original queries submitted to the CERL web site up to November 2009 can be viewed below. CERL aims to migrate queries posted between December 2009 - August 2018 to the new CERL Provence Digital Archive.
->  Queries submitted under the old system are still visible (below): you are welcome to re-post them on the new database.
