The Data Archive – An introduction

The Data Archive – An introduction

You can now browse the data for each Costume-Con using Tags (for each Costume-Con) to see all the data for a given CC, or by type of data for ALL of the Costume-Cons (where data exists) using Categories.

You can also search on a name. Where possible, we have noted name changes, so that it’s possible to find participants regardless of their current names. Please try to limit the amount of data you use for searching. For example, the Service Mark Holder may appear as Karen (Schnaubelt) Turner, as Karen (Schnaubelt Turner) Dick, or as Karen Schnaubelt, depending on when in time her name appears. Search for “Schnaubelt” or just “schnau” and you should find all instances where Karen’s name appears.

If you look to the right on this screen, you’ll see Categories as a drop-down menu. Just choose the type of Category you want to search, and you’ll see the list(s) if they exist.

We welcome corrections and additions. If you have corrections to make to the content on the page, please leave us a detailed comment with the change(s) you want us to make. The commenting process is fully moderated. Comments will NOT post automatically.

Major Categories include:

To see the Visual Gallery, either choose the Overview for a Costume-Con and select the event in question or select the whole Visual Gallery.

You can use this function to display the list of events and then explore the contents of each Costume-Con’s rules, participants, and so on.

Some Costume-Cons lack details because we don’t have the paperwork we need to complete the data online. If you have some of the missing material in your collection, and you’re willing to scan or donate the data to us, we will gratefully accept additions to the collection. Pocket Programs, promotional materials, event run orders…no data is too insignificant if we are missing the information on the site.

Please let us know if you have any questions concerning the revisions within.

Thanks!!!
