I've been posting my artifacts online.

Take a look. What do you think? (I'm just starting; got a whole bunch more to post.) If any of you collectors would like to post yours there too, let me know. I'll get you a password and set it up for you...

I think it would be fun for us to share our collections in one place. Good idea or no?

Nice idea - but a tad expensive for some. It might be easy for Robert to create a page under the "Websites" tab that featured links to members pages with their collections.

I like your website very much. Personally, I have gone the cheap way - posting my photos to a gallery in Facebook. Here's the public link.

Some good stuff there, but without sounding picky, you might want to check the wording on some of the descriptions.

Looks good.

I'm a big fan of using simple blog software to create an artifact site. Mine, for example, was created in TypePad. If you can use Microsoft Powerpoint, you can use TypePad.

Such a page already exists: Collectors

Yes, that a great page linking to collectors who have posted their items online!

What I'm doing is a bit different. It helps people who aren't web savvy enough to put up their own website and it consolidates multiple private collections in one place.

I'll definitely put up a prominent link to your very useful page as things develop!

Some clarification:

Posting to "Space Artifacts" is free! I'm doing it anyway, and I thought I'd share the space.

Also, it's not a replacement for any of the other great resources showing space artifacts. I love those, too! For me, the more the merrier!

Yep. It's still a beta, and I've been a little clumsy. But thanks for pointing that out!

I'm also considering other designs -- I like the one I've got, but I'd like more space on the front page to put other kinds of entries...

Maybe its time to push forward on the Collectors Wiki.

Thanks to Robert Yowell for sharing his artifacts, now on the space artifacts site.

Others wishing to share on the site please note: you can email stuff to me, but I'll be away for a few days, and will post new items when I get back. Thanks!

I've got more space artifacts posted on this site.

Thanks to Jose Villavicencio and Robert Yowell for sharing their artifacts!
