[BCMA] Combined database for archives and artefacts

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I haven't tried it yet, but have heard good things about the Madrona
system: http://madronapro.com/

 

It's an Open Source system, which means it has a free version...always a
plus...

We are using InMagic  and we run a continuous accession database and
simply prefix the accession number with an A (Archive) or M (Museum).
This works well for us.

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody has a collections database that combines
archival and artefact records in one layout? And if so does it work well
for you?

Thanks,
