Hi

 

I have been using PastPerfect at three institutions I have been involved with over the past 5 years - a history museum, a historic house museum, and a regional archives.  I think it is excellent value for the money and version 3.5 (I have the manual but not the upgrade as yet) looks like it addresses the issues I have had with earlier versions (I signed on with 2.0 if memory serves)

 

Based on budget, we started with the basic package and a few extras and then went on to add features as the budget allowed year-to-year at the history museum.  It has been great with getting up an running on our database projects and with the addition of an middling digital camera and scanner we have made great inroad into the collections documentation with student and volunteer assistance.  Our collection is diverse ranging from fine art to archaeological materials, an archives, and a library.  PastPerfect has managed to handle it all within the basic package without custom fields to date.

 

Best of luck with your project,
