Documentation Portal

Welcome to the Collection Management (CM) Documentation Portal!

This includes tools that can be used for digital asset management but are being employed for collection management aspects by an institution.

Practicum Project ~ Need Archivist Advice
Hi All!
My name is Daphne Pierce and I am a student at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Illinois and I am doing my Practicum at the McLean County Museum of History.
My project is to convert an "archive card catalog digitally onto a unified platform for archival description and access."
However, the archive card catalog holds two types of records:
1. Box Collections - accessible online through finding aids, the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections and WorldCat.
2. Vertical Files - which are not accessible online (approximately 3700 files).
Each of the above includes title of the folder/collection, author (if applicable) and subject tracings.
I am interested in knowing what platforms would best suit this type of conversion project. I can send samples of the cards in the card catalog and, as you might imagine, funding is limited. Also, we have a professional on staff who does IT work, but that is not her primary function.
Currently, the museum uses PastPerfect for objects, but not for archives.
Any advice that you would be able to give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Daphne Pierce
