We use the system here in our museum to catalogue all of the collections; photographs, archaeology, social history, books, periodicals, etc, etc. It really can handle just about everything we throw at it. It is used by a vast number of museums, libraries, engineering companys,etc, all over the world. Their e-mail adress in [log in to unmask] -- Tommy Watt Shetland Museum 01595 695 057
