We 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 in which the binary itself is unobserved. We take UBVR photometry
for 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.
