Like Janice, I have used FileMaker at two University museums (one rather large, one small) and at home (where I have all of the Comanche census lists 1879-1929, plus other census-like data, in a Filemaker database. I also have a Filemaker database of the extant Civil War cannon). We use the brand new Filemaker at Seton Hall.

We have used Filemaker Pro for years for our collections, scheduling, rental program, memberships, gift shop,etc. I have now been employing the Kiosk function of Filemaker developer to make kiosks for visitors.

I have used FileMakerPro at two different museums and at home and am very pleased with both its versatility and the ease of use.   It is cross-platform, both PC and MAC.

The Museum Studies Department  at the University of the Arts is in the process of purchasing a museum  software package to catalog the university's collections as well as to use as  a teaching tool. I am interested in learning what other museums (small, medium  and large) are using. Also, I would be particularly interested in institutions  that are using Mac-based programs.

Thank you!
