I would recommend PastPerfect collections software.  We are a small county museum (although we have a large collection) and this software has worked well for our various collection needs (objects, photographs and library collection). You can find information about the software at The American Association of State and Local History website, http://www.aaslh.org/.

Hope this helps.

  Hi Museum professionals,
  We have a very small collection (less than 1,000) and want to buy some collections software for our computer - what do you all recommend? We would be grateful for your help. Sincerely,
