If you are working in natural history then one solution would be Specify developed here at KU which is Open source and free!!!
We are also potentially looking at an Anthropology/Archaeology data model but that is some time off yet.

Subject: Collections Software - on the cheap!
Hi All,
I'm working with a startup museum that has not yet begun to catalog
their collection. I'm trying to find a solution for purchasing
collection management software with a budget only slightly higher than
ZERO.
I've looked at PastPerfect which is one of the least expensive of the
commercial products (we only need one license). I've also come across
The Museum Archive Software Project (www.musearch.com)--FREEWARE. Are
there others?
When selecting, I want to ensure that whatever program we choose now
will allow us to upgrade or migrate easily as we and our collections
grow.
Any sagely advise? I've set up several startups, but never one quite
so starting!
Thank you!
Karen
