  "abstract": "The eruption of a (classical) nova is widely accepted to be a recurrent event in the lifetime of a cataclysmic binary star. In-between eruptions the system should therefore behave as a \"normal\" cataclysmic variable (CV), i.e. according to its characteristic properties like the mass-transfer rate or the strength of the magnetic field of the white dwarf. How important are these characteristics for the nova eruption itself, i.e. which type of systems preferably undergo a nova eruption? This question could in principle be addressed by comparing the post-nova systems with the general CV population. However, information on post-novae is scarce, even to the extent that the identification of the post-nova is ambiguous in most cases. In this paper we inform on the progress of a project that has been undertaken to significantly improve the number of confirmed post-novae, thus ultimately providing the means for a better understanding of these objects.",
