I am dealing with the very same problems and appreciate the suggestion from Laurie.  Good luck Victoria and thanks to all else who may have suggestions on managing institutional archives, study center materials, and ancillary archives relating specifically to works accessioned into a permanent collection.

Greetings Everyone! 

Apologies for cross posting! 

I am writing to find out how other institutions handle their institutional archives. Right now all of our institutional records (photos, files, CD/DVD, misc. documents) have been placed in collection storage. There have been brief discussions on archiving this valuable information and making it accessible in a digital way for our staff.

Before we charge forward, some of my questions are:  

What department within a museum is responsible for the institutional archives? 

Is there a software or program used to record and archive this information? Best recommendation? 

If anyone is willing to share their experiences, information, or suggestions we would greatly appreciate it!


Thank you all,

Tori
