Post subject:  "Past Perfect" and other museum collection mgt. so

Anyone out there care to share what software package they're using for organizing their collection of smaller artifacts and archives?

Past Perfect seems interesting (and reasonably priced) but wondering what others are doing. Perhaps a bit more "full featured" than needed for just creating a database for a collection, but it seems to have been around a long while (in software terms) and so I wondering if anyone has been using it and has opinions.

Thanks!

We've used it at National Capital for a number of years and have been very happy with the features of the program. A number of other local history museums and associations in our area are also using the software with great success.

Another program out there is 'History Database' at http://www.history.la.ca.us/. I use an Access database of my own design that is loosely based on History Database.
