Bob,
Obviously we would want links in the future, but my suggestion was much simpler. When you have a Schreiner's catalog you would know the main hybridizers are Schreiners, same for Sass and Cooley's. For example, (and this is all hypothetical), James Q. Public was the main hybridizer for Jennifer's Gardens. When you show the catalog for Jennifer's Gardens in 1947, list James Q. Public under the "Jennifer's Gardens" name. Eventually you could add a link to the hybridizer, showing all his introductions. If you didn't know Jennifer's Gardens introduced for James Q. Public, but you had knowledge of James Q. Public, you could find him under Jennifer's Gardens by seeing his name listed. The process of getting all the catalogs scanned and listed is mind boggling. Kudos to you and your hard workers.

In some cases several nurseries introduced for various nurseries at different times and we could point that out including the respective links. This type of thing is what makes the Encyclopedia Special. Hopefully also when one looks at the page of a certain Iris and sees the registration information there will by a link at the name of the introducing Nursery to that catalog. Of course we need hundreds more catalogs to make this a the usual case for descriptions.

Not everyone would know the Nursery name, so getting the iris name link would be a big benefit. Maybe, if possible, the main hybridizer's name in addition to the Nursery name (placed under the Nursery name?) because I think many irisarians know the hybridizer, but not necessarily the Nursery they operated from. What a wonderful resource. Thank you for all the hard work.

The Iris library in the Iris Encyclopedia has reached a benchmark of sorts. We now have almost 500 catalogs in the catalog portion of the library and together with other articles that makes over 1,000 items in the library. The catalogs can be accessed as a gallery under the word ‘catalog’ in the index on the left bar. I am still working on a section under nurseries that would allow you to find catalogs by Nursery. In the future I may have catalogs listed also under the different types of Iris, only a thought for now. Of course ultimately, you will be able to type in an Iris name in the HIST web and be given a list of all catalogs that offered it, but that will be a ways off. For now I would like to know if the current presentation works for you. Also I need help in finding copies to scan of the hundreds, dare I say thousands of catalogs we have yet to upload. Note I would like to upload all current catalogs each year so that w! > e can maintain the database into the future.
