Your question is mine as well – and perfectly timed. We also have PastPerfect 4.0 and are considering our next moves.  So I hope anyone with experience to share will post to the list, please!



Thanks!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Collections Management Software question!



I'm wondering what wisdom you folks have about collections management software for a local history museum with an archive library. The museum has been using PastPerfect 4.0 for several years now but we are at a point where we need to upgrade and get serious about our efforts! (First year of 3 part-time paid staffers!) We would like to tie in the library holdings and add photos, etc. etc. so have the necessary PastPerfect upgrades picked out, with a hefty price tag of about $1500. As we are a small non-profit museum, we are wondering if there are open source options out there that are wireless-network friendly and can do what we have come to expect from PastPerfect. Has anyone made that jump and have wisdom to share?? Thank-you!
