Popis:	The discovered population of Near Earth Objects (asteroids and comets) consists of more than 1,300 bodies. Small telescopes provided with a large field of view have played a major role in the field, contributing to the discovery of about 95% of the total known population. We present a brief summary of the steps that have led to the present knowledge and suggestions to improve it. A proposal for accessing archival images to search for previous apparitions is presented.
