Hi Richard, for some more background on those installations Dennis mentioned (and an additional link) here is a thread from elsewhere on the forum which you may find to be useful if you haven't already come across it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/archesproject/implementations/archesproject/KS05bTBGptA/cLuPiQCKBAAJ
I'm a developer and did the Cane River project mentioned above. You may be interested to see the project I'm working on now, which is currently in progress: afrh.adamcfcox.com. Based on direction from the folks I'm working with, I made significant changes to the resource types to better fit their current database and management methods. If you'd like to login and see the data collection and database schema side of things, just let me know and I'll give you the password. In answer to your second question about clicking on "date: 1905", no, the basic Arches app isn't set up to do that, though I've thought it would be a nice thing to add at some point.
