Dear museum-lers:

Those of us in the Office of Information Services and Technology at the
Peabody Museum have had reason to ponder this question in the last week.

        Do we have the largest museum database

        (a) in the world?
        (b) in North America?
        (c) in New England?
        (d) at Harvard?

        Our database is 1.6 million records and weighs in at 1.6 GB.

Let us know if we hold the record or not.  If yours is larger, we want to
meet you and talk about how large databases work.

Thanks,

Kathy
