Software for archives management

Posted by Jane Smith on February 8, 2022 at 12:25pm

Hi,

I'm in a hospital archives with a collection of physical items - documents, photos, uniforms, equipment - and squillions of digital photos. I would love to hear what software others are using to manage their collections - physical, digital or a combo of both. I have nothing but Excel and photo storage in windows at the moment.

Thanks,

Jane.

You can find more information here - https://sds-archivemanager.co.uk/ or https://www.sds-au.com/ . We have lots of customers in Australia, so please feel free to email me at mcoombes@sds-group.co.uk, and I'm sure we can help on pricing. Best wishes, Mark

    Hi Jane. We are using Recollect at the City of Sydney. We use it to manage our whole collection which is a mix of physical, digital, hybrid, etc. Recollect is a NZ company which has a strong user base in Australia. We went live 2 years ago and have been very happy with the system. Happy to have a chat if you would like. We are also expecting to talk a bit about our project to implement the system at the March ASA NSW branch meeting if you are in that group. Kind Regards - Michael Smith

      Hi Michael, that does look interesting. I should have mentioned that I'm looking for a basic, low-cost solution, and Recollect's site gives no indication at all about pricing. I'll check it out some more though, and if it seems promising I might take you up on the offer of a chat, thank you. I'm in QLD, in a very small private hospital archives.
