Last week I gave a talk to a small county historical museum. Afterward, one of the volunteers asked about software. They are finally getting a computer, and have been trying to find out what small museums use them for. Although I have volunteered at a museum, and have training with Material Culture, this isn't my area of expertise, so here I am. What he said they do mostly is genealogy. I also thought a database for thier collection would help, as well as some sort of membership software. I realize this has been discussed recently, but at the time it did not apply to me, so I didn't save the messages. The museum, the Ontonagon County Historical Society Museum, doesn't have access to the'net, so I'll pass any suggestions along. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Richard A. Fields [log in to unmask]
