Hello all!

I work for a small paleontology museum and we are looking to write a grant to get a collections assistant who will help us with our backlog, but also help us load information into a format so that our collections will be accessible online to researchers. What kinds of online, open access databases do you recommend we look at or stay away from?

We currently use FileMaker Pro, but are not looking to put all of our info online, just the basics, so going with FileMaker seems like overkill. (Also, would you have to have FileMaker on your end to even use it? So many questions!)

Thank you in advance for your help and advice. We are just starting out on this project and really don't have any idea what options there are, but we will be spending the next few weeks learning all about them. ;)

Thanks again,

Patti
