Work continues on the new database. Finished adding the new manuscripts, and the count is currently 1156. That means I have about 600 image files to edit and prep for the site, since there are 600 up there now. Yow.
The number of unique works stands at 4147, and I expect that to increase by maybe 100, but that's it. I know that sounds low according to the mythology, but it's as close to an accurate count of what's known as is possible.
That isn't to say there isn't a lot more unknown or unpublished (or unpublishable). Once the database is finished it will be easier to get a count on published, unpublished, etc.
I'd be interested to know how many works John Dullaghan cataloged when he went through Bukowski's papers in San Pedro. Maybe one day we'll find out.
