    Good morning, Bob.  We're using Canto Cumulus and like it very much.  If you'd like to speak with the photography and museum technology staff who coordinated the software implementation for us, I'll be glad to put you in contact with them.  Here's the link to Canto: Digital Asset Management Software by Canto | Cumulus

    Good Morning Robert, 

    We use Collectrium, it is cloud based, very user friendly and extremely secure. Art Collection Management | Collection Management System | Collectrium

    You can get in touch with Akanksha Ballaney for a demo at Collectrium, she has been very helpful.

    We started using Extensis Portfolio for digital images. That is working well.  I am looking forward to using it for reports as PDFs and oral history recordings and transcripts, too. Hope Ozolins is the coordinator for my site, Hope_Ozolins@nps.gov

    Hello! We use ResourceSpace, and have been very happy with it. The cost, features and ability to customize simply cannot be beat. It is an open-source DAMS, but we contract for support and maintenance through ResourceSpace's co-authoring firm, Montala. They are a UK company. Lots of museums are jumping on board (even some in your neighborhood - Historic New England is a founding museum user, Harvard Art Museums and just recently, Williams College).

    The bonus is we built a TMS-plugin that syncs data from TMS, which has been rolled into the base code (so yours for the using :)). 

    I'd be happy to talk more with you - just drop me a line.
