Frequently Asked Questions

General
What will I find here?
Why does this matter?
What does it mean that VaCiKa is a scientific project?
Why is VaCiKa not free?
Why does VaCiKa have to be private? This site should be hosted by a museum, university or library.
Why is the site only in English?
I created an account, why is the content still blocked?
Why are the methods of payment limited to bank transfer?
Can I suggest new features or modifications for my comfort?
Collectors
Eh, my collection and database is much bigger and better than this!
Why should I share my collection with anyone?
I don’t want other people to know what I have; but for the sake of history and the artists, I would not mind sharing them anonymously. Can I do that?
Researchers
Those photos on the homepage were clearly coloured yesterday and they might be anachronistic. Do you distort or censor database entries too?
If everything appears as it is in the source, how can you make it sure that I will find names and venues written in different spelling or in a different alphabet?
How can I be sure that I find here what I’m looking for before I join?
How will I know what has been added recently?
Why there aren’t more scanned images on the site?
I found a mistake and I can prove it!
Artists and Enterprises
My grandfather told me that he worked in Ulaanbaatar in the 1960s. Why isn’t this registered in the database?
I had a fitting performance yesterday; can you add it?
Can you add my animals to the database?
Me or my enterprise is still in business, can I customise my look on the site?
