Did You Know...

Did you know when the International Art Doll Registry began, it was to help artists be able to record and provide an authentication when proving the artwork was theirs?

Especially with AI (artifical intelligence), this can help give peace of mind to the artist that there is such a place that records your creation.  Records like this registration also helpful when selling the artwork.

But, did you know that you have three ways to find your artwork just under the website Registry area alone?

The Registry is your record and one reason why it is under the IADR Membership side only of the website.  So how does that make it any easier to find what you have registered?  Well one way is to scroll down the page since the entries are in numerical order.  That is the long hard way, inspiring - yes - but the long, long, long way to do it.  

One step easier is if you think you know when you might have submitted in a registration - then go to the Archives.  Now on a desk top the Archives are on the right side of the website Registry page.  On a phone, it might require you sliding over another page.  From there, scroll down to the month and year you think you might have submitted the entry and click on it.  The Registry will now show registrations during that month/year. 

But the really-really easy way to find out what you have registered is to continue down under the Archives section until you see the names of the doll artists.  The Artists are listed by last name first and in alphabetical order.  When you click on an artist's name... whether it is your name or an artist's work you want to view, you will see all the registered pieces linked to that name.  And that is the easiest way to find your pieces you have registered.
