[Nhcoll-l] collections database

[Derek Sikes]

Tim,

Arctos is definitely a strong option. I've been using it for our Insect
Collection (~270,000 specimen records to date) since 2012. Happy to answer
any questions you might have.

More information here: https://arctosdb.org/

Other relatively popular options include Symbiota, Specify, and K-Emu
