Changes Designed to Improve Searching

! Handling duplicates

! Transforming format of entry date (date d’achat par Goupil) and
  sale date (date de vente/sortie) to YYYY/MM/DD,

! Standardizing words for type of object (painting, sculpture,
  drawing, watercolor, etc.)

! Creating a “transaction” field so that works sold, not sold,
  exchanged, etc. can be identified.

    "   a crossed-out title meant the work was “Vendu” (sold)
    "   no sale price given meant the work was “Non vendu” (not
        sold)
