[BCMA] museum data storage equivalent to AtoM for archives

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

HI Wendy,

Here at HAMM we have been using Catalog It, available on line.  We have grown from just a few items in 2013 to perhaps 10K+ today, most of which is in the archives room.  It is set up so that (eventually ) the inventory will be available to the public off site.  As for our cases which there are additional items related but no room for display, we used QR codes on the cases which leads the visitor to a page on our website which lists all of the items (showing or not) with some kind of background if available. 

We’re still working out the bugs, but so far our trial runs have been very satisfactory.



at your service,


Lewis Bartholomew
Founder & Executive Director

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields.
