You might want to examine Microsoft Access for your archive project.
     At the archives that I am working with, no photo archive has been
     established.  When I began to attempt to rectify this, I noticed that
     Access already has a database template for photographs.  Some of the
     headings within this database is irrelevant to most photographs, but
     the program also allows you to change this.

Subject: software for computer photo archive

Can anyone recommend software for starting a computer photo archive? I
have several hundred colour photos of Ethiopian Jewish manuscript pages
(I photographed several complete manuscripts) and other photomaterial
that I would like to scan and computerise.  At the moment it's just my
own private collection; but I'd like to arrange it properly in a form
that could maybe later be transferred to a museum archive (hopefully to
the as-yet-nonexistent Museum of Ethiopian Jewish Heritage!)

Thanks,
