Data base conversions- suggested recommendations of database software for electronic record keeping

Technology is changing rapidly. The registrar/collection management office was “late in the game” when it came to electronic records. It is now the museum registrar’s office standard to have an electronic collection management system (CMS). These systems enable the staff to organize collection records and information for easy retrieval for staff, visitors, researchers and other museums.  The hardware and software that each museum or private client uses is unique to that institution or client.

In the museums and for clients, I have worked on large complex systems needing data base managers as well as smaller user friendly systems. Knowing vendors and steps to implement a CMS are services that I can provide.
