Hello all.
 
We’ve exhausted our creative brain cells trying to figure out how we can
adapt our annual exhibit season in keeping with the Covid guidelines as well
as struggling to get visitors (any local person would do) into our museum.
 
So we are going to use this time to concentrate once and for all on getting
our entire inventory into a digital format that is searchable, detailed, and
can work with our existing website and our plans for a post covid virtual
museum website.
 
Like the story of the Grasshopper and the Ants, we have been bouncing this
idea of getting on the stick with a more accurate system of inventory of
artefacts for years.  Unfortunately we have a LOT of time on our hands and
have received some donation funding to purchase hardware and software to
accomplish this.
 
What type of inventory system do you use or is used mostly in the industry
that is both PC and Mac compatible?  We already are reluctantly moving some
of our basic SOPs, graphic projects, legal documents to the Cloud with a
separate external HD back up located off site.
 
Thanks for any advice for us as we move from paper and pen to paperless
record keeping.
 
At your service,
