Medievalists - has anyone tried a campaign to get people who own illuminations sliced out of books to turn them over, photograph the text and image, and post them with any other known info?

Seems like a lot of fragments of text might be preserved / recovered that way. Museums too.

This would be incredibly helpful for people like Allison Altstatt at the University of Northern Iowa who recognizes some of the books that these illuminations were cut out of
