Yes, I am actually looking into it for the last few days...trying to find some sources, but can't seem to get into it completely...busy busy. I managed to find [http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k503935j/f1.item this] but it's in black and white which obviously, as you know, is a big problem. Plus it seems more like a list of arms, missing blazons and stuff which is good for identification of arms but bad for finding out how they actually looked. There is also [http://classes.bnf.fr/livre/livres/armorial/index.htm this]. Guess we'll have to manage somehow...

Categorization[edit]

With over 13000 files, I propose that we add categories for each file, so that arms containing the same charge may be grouped properly.

Also, this is the closest thing I could think of in order to find arms by blazon.

For example, the Capet arms is categorized as Fleur-de-lys.

Arms containing more than one charge would have several categories, until each and every charge contained in the arms had been identified.

If a charge cannot be identified, it should also be categorized as 'Unidentified Charge', even if the other charges could be identified. If another user could identify the charge, the 'Unidentified Charge' category for that specific arms should be deleted and replaced with the proper identification. -NSamson (talk) 02:28, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

This is a great idea, but personally I don't really think its feasible given the sparse amount of members this wiki has. Novov (talk) 08:50, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
