I just attended the Washington Museum Association conference and Mike Siebol, Curator of Collections at the Yakima Valley Museum gave a great presentation on how he has used Filemaker Pro to build a variety of applications. He did say he was willing to share his expertise, so I trust he won't mind me passing his name along.

I was wondering if anyone out there in the big virtual world could offer me any advice for building a collections management database using Filemaker Pro 8, software just purchased by the small museum I work at. I'm not sure if I should use one of the templates (which one?) or build one from scratch. My database experience is not extensive, so I have a lot to learn. Any advice or helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks very much! Rachel.
