Chris,
 
 'ehive' http://ehive.com/ <http://ehive.com/>  by Vernon Systems
http://www.vernonsystems.com/ <http://www.vernonsystems.com/>  is well worth
a look  
 
I suggest you source a copy of  'Cataloging Cultural Objects: A Guide to
Describing Cultural Works and Their Images
http://www.vraweb.org/ccoweb/cco/about.html
<http://www.vraweb.org/ccoweb/cco/about.html> 
 
It's import to be clear about what is being catalogued particularly when
cataloguing photographic collections electronically,- Are you interested in
cataloguing  the original photograph or its digital image? By asking
yourself  'What am I cataloguing? you'll clarify this. Good luck
 
regards
 
Nat

Subject: Re: [can-talk] Cataloguing software



Like Roy Arnott recently, I am looking for a software application for our
very new and quite small (but hopefully growing) school archive.

Roy reported he'd had a good response and I'm hoping members of the list
will be kind enough to help me too. Currently I am investigating FileMaker
Pro.

We have an extensive photo collection and I also need to find out how best
to catalogue these (as well as being able to retrieve them).

Being an inexperienced novice, I'd appreciate any help.
