[Nhcoll-l] Database for Anthropology Department

[Angela Linn]

HI Rachel,
Here at the University of Alaska Museum of the North, our ethnology & history collection <https://arctos.database.museum/search.cfm?guid_prefix=UAM:EH> (ca. 18,000 catalog records), fine arts <https://arctos.database.museum/search.cfm?guid_prefix=UAM:Art> (4,500+ records), and archaeology  <https://arctos.database.museum/search.cfm?guid_prefix=UAM:Arc>(~750,000+ records) collections are all successfully managed through Arctos. We were the first cultural collections in this outstandingly flexible and powerful system back in 2014 and we’ve been really happy with it.

I’d be happy to talk with you about Arctos <https://arctosdb.org/> and/or to put you in direct contact with our archaeology collection manager.
All the best!
Angela

We hold archaeological materials (e.g., lithics, textiles, faunal remains) as well as paleontological specimens, ethnographic artifacts, and archives. For those that curate archaeological collections, would you share what database you are currently using?
