Audit and Volunteers

Maintenance of this catalogue is provided by volunteers. Individual pages are periodically amended as Traditional Fine Arts Organization (TFAO) corrects errors and reorganizes sections for improved readability.

As of 4/24/09 the catalogue was audited for broken links through:

Yale University Art Gallery

TFAO's audit of the link to a content page on a source's site, other than TFAO or Resource Library, revealed whether the link was broken. If broken, TFAO usually kept information concerning the prior page's content, but eliminated the link. A note was placed after the content title such as: (Link expired as of 12/12/11 audit. Source site may contain this content via a revised URL)

Retention of information concerning content that existed on a former website page has value. The content may be:

available from the source offline (not through TFAO or Resource Library)
still on the source's site but with a different title
on the source's site but no longer available in a format that can be addressed by search
no longer on the source's site

In some instances TFAO attempted to find content with a broken link at another location on the source's site. This was done by using the advanced search feature on search engines, enabling searches for exact wording or phrases in a site. If the attempt was not successful, TFAO made a note of the failed search after the content title such as: (4/27/09 advanced search failed to locate content on source's site)

As of 4/27/09 advanced searches for replacement links were made through:

Yale University Art Gallery

Also see metrics through 2005.
