@Rocket Queen I only found those books from IMG and Elite because someone was trying to sell them. It didn't have any unknown models. Marlowe Archive is useful but Classic Models boards are better. If you have noticed, I make a lot of threads of older models. Its because they are not supermodels but worked prolifically in their 20s. I also try to add as many inactive models from the 2000s that I can remember when I find their work. You may notice that I use a lot of tags. Before my break, I started to tag everything as a way to help us identify old runway shows. I used to record every model in agency every 6 months in a thread to help us down the road. I created model lists for magazines, catalogs, and brands to record every model that worked for them so people could find out who a model was on their own. Problem was everyone who was interested in model over 25 seemed to disappear and I couldn't keep up with it. My resource links are still there but people are not labeling when posting or creating bios.
I have bolded the ones that will be helpful to you

If you guys can get in the habit of labeling work like fashionspot standards and tagging models like this there are plenty of people who are scanner/scavengers who will update threads. My tip is to never post all the images at once like you guys do. The more often you post in a topic the more other people see them and help find images. The key is to engage more people to help you identify models. There is a system already in place ie tags to find models. The key is to utilize all the tools you have.
