Hello,
I would propose that you try Picasa, while not a long term solution, it
is free for download from Google. It would serve as a stop gap measure
until you are able to source and purchase an image archival software.
To find some I would recommend consulting DigiCULT, www.digicult.info.
Seamus Ross is extremely knowledgeable about such topics, as he is also
the director of HATII at the University of Glasgow.
But back to Picasa, it is part of the download pack made available by
google; it is free and frequently upgraded and improved, it seems to
handle large volumes, thousands, of images with little problems. I do
not know if it will be appropriate for your needs, but if you have a
windows computer running XP it is worth downloading and taking for a
test drive.
