[Nhcoll-l] archival management programs

[Trock, Debra]

After several years and some false starts (including trying some off-the-shelf programs), we are in the process of having a system custom designed, with a number of potential vendors providing demonstrations for us to look at.  We have ended up hiring a whole team of people to deal with this issue as we intend to use it for everything from document and specimen images to our digital planetarium shows and all kinds of audio assets (and probably a lot of other things I don't even know about!).  If you want to keep in touch off-list, I would be happy to let you know more, once we have selected a vendor!

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] archival management programs

Hello everyone,

We are looking into options for managing our archives.  One of our staff just attended the iDigBio workshop on digitizing source materials, so we have some great information from all who attended that meeting.  I was wondering if any other natural history museums who weren't involved are also working on this issue, though.  Specifically, is anyone using Archives Space, and if so, do you like it?  If not, what other programs are you using for digital asset management or archival management?

Thanks very much,

Elsbeth
