We here present our on-going project to unveil the post-nova population
by re-discovering old novae that have been lost after the initial
outburst and of which the binary itself is unobserved. We take UBVR
photometry for the candidate selection, long-slit spectroscopy to
confirm these candidates, and time-resolved spectroscopy to measure the
orbital period of the newly confirmed post-novae. Some preliminary
results are shown as examples.
