The Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) has been doing collections management software reviews for a number of years now--their 2000 edition is available on-line at http://www.chin.gc.ca/English/Collections_Management/Software_Review/index.html In addition to EmbARK, a quick look through the review also found that The Virtual Archiver and Virtual Collections can be used on MACs; there might be others that I missed. I haven't used any of these programs, so I can't offer any insights on them, but for anyone looking for an off-the-shelf collections management system, it's definitely worth looking through CHIN's review. ------------------------------------------------------------ Tim McShane, Assistant--Cultural History Medicine Hat Museum and Art Gallery 1302 Bomford Crescent S.W.
