I have been using PastPerect for the past two years and really love it.
However, we only use it for objects, photographs, some books, and
membership.  The archives portion is not compatible with our existing
system.  I have also found the customer service to excellent.  The program
itself is tedious but once you learn it, date entry goes easily.  I am
willing to answer specific questions on or off the list.
