Boston Children's Museum developed a computerized collections management system just about 1980, running on Digital PDP computers. I believe they presented this project at AAM in 1980 or 81. I believe I could come up with a printed copy of this presentation, if you are interested.

I believe I've sent everyone who requested it a copy of my recent Master's Project, "Inventory, Access, Interpretation: The Evolution of Collection Management Software." Next year, I'm hoping to begin expanding this project into a book, encapsulating every issue about CMS projects. So if anyone would like to read it, poke some more holes into it, or expand on any points I have made, I'd certainly appreciate the input! Or if anyone would like to read it for fun (ha!), please let me know and I'll send the PDF along. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of you in a couple of weeks in Pasadena! I'll be the one with weird orange and yellow autumnal hair. -- Perian Sully Collection Database and Records Administrator Judah L.
