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.
