The Oral History listserv should have some suggestions for you. http://www.h-net.org/~oralhist/
You could also contact the people at Storycorps, http://www.storycorps.net. They might have some answers as well. A program that is inexpensive and works on Mac platform is Extensis Portfolio, http://www.extensis.com. It would do a good job at keeping things organized. They have a document online that tells you what file formats they will support, http://www.extensis.com/en/support/kb_article.jsp?articleNumber=4902201. The costs vary from a single user license ($199) to a corporate/server license ($6000). If you want to go full blown digital asset management, its going to cost you. Plus if you want some backup storage a good service is http://www.mozy.com. They currently dont support the Mac platform but it is coming soon.

This is my first posting...I hope it works. Anyway, I need to build a database for a collection of oral histories that are being stored on a Mac. All I know how to use is Microsoft Access. Can anyone suggest a common database program for Macs that hold sound files well? Thanks, Rachel from Toronto. _________________________________________________________________ Be one of the first to try Windows Live Mail. http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=5d21c51a-b161-4314-9b0e-4911fb2b2e6d _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l mailgate.ima.museum made the following annotations---------------------------------------------------------------------NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
