I have been examining a family bible with inscriptions from about 1758 to 1820. Some of it identifies who was writing and when; some does not. I'd like to try to match handwriting betwen pages, or if that's not possible to date the writing. I might eventually turn to professional help, but it should be possible to get somewhere with enough examples for comparison. Has anyone assembled a collection of handwriting examples, indexed by date (of learning to write), place, social class, education, profession etc.?
