Dear Museum Professionals,

The California Association of Museums is looking to purchase and apply a new database program to keep track of members, events (such as our Annual Conference and Regional Workshops), merge letters and reports.  Currently CAM uses the outdated Q&A 4 database system made by Symantec.  However, it has been increasingly difficult to effectively and efficiently manage our records with such an antique system and we are looking for advice and suggestions for a new, user friendly, applicable database for our organization.

Thus far, we are considering ACT!, as well as ACCESS and FILEMAKER PRO but are open to other programs.

As a collegues within the field, if you have any advice and/or suggestions, please post or email a response.

Thank you in advance,
Teri A. Knoll, Executive Director
