Collecting detailed info on individual stores with Bluepages
Posted: 07 May 2020 16:36
Hi there, please let me know if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I'm the administrator of Bluepages, a collaborative project with the goal of allowing people to build up historical information about all kinds of places. (https://www.bluepageswiki.org/wiki/Main_Page) As you already know, retail is a crucial part of any community's history, but is often neglected and forgotten. Bluepages offers a new format for collecting this kind of information, similar to Wikipedia. I have collected basic information on hundreds of thousands of retail locations, many of which are supermarkets and grocery stores, and organized them by chain, which you can see here: https://www.bluepageswiki.org/wiki/Special:CargoTables. My hope is that, with many like-minded people working together, we can create a comprehensive historical directory of the whole world, and the whole site could look something like this: https://www.bluepageswiki.org/wiki/Perr ...

I also want to be clear that this is a non-profit site with no advertising, and I intend to keep it that way. I make no money from you clicking these links. This post is not an advertisement, just a request for help in accomplishing a common goal. I'm also happy to take suggestions on how this goal might be accomplished a little differently than I would have expected. Thanks!
