Choose a collector name and establish the private workspace where your collection will live.
A clear path from zero to organized
Getting started takes six practical steps, and none of them require rebuilding the collection from memory.

Why it matters
Start with the source that already contains the best version of your collection: a service account, spreadsheet, existing list, or a handful of items entered one at a time. GatherThat is designed to improve the record as you work, not demand a perfect migration on day one.
After the first import, review the matches, choose the destination collection, and add the details only you know—condition, memories, purchase history, private notes, or what you want to do next.
What it brings together
Choose a collector name and establish the private workspace where your collection will live.
Connect a supported site with Tiv, upload a spreadsheet, or start with manual entry, a supported barcode, or a photo. Book collectors can also use ISBN lookup. Review the matches, destination, and tags before adding records.
Choose a collectible type, create collections when you need them, and use personal tags to group by genre, theme, era, or creator. Build a private collection from matching tags.
Keep records private, share with friends, or publish selected collections on your collector profile.
