Colleagues, We are a small cultural center and museum, and we are taking preliminary steps toward creating a database to manage our digital photography, most of which currently resides on individual hard-drives or on the shared network.
I would be interested in hearing from you regarding software and vendors you do or don't recommend, and why. (I'm well versed in the issues surrounding the retention and preservation of digital objects, btw.) We don't have a lot of money to throw at a solution, but we want to do the best job we can given those restraints, so I'm particularly interested in solutions that will provide the most bang for our limited means. Also, this is purely an in-house project -- we do not foresee sharing our photo resources outside the organization. If you would be so kind as to share your expertise, please reply privately to this e-mail address, and I thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Peter Peter Johnson Project Manager for Records, Documents & Images Skirball Cultural Center 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90049 310-440-4707 pjohnson at skirball.org
