[MassHistPres] photo management software

[Lynn Smiledge]

The Andover Historical Society has managed its collection, which includes a large number of photographs, for a number of years with PastPerfect. The software is inexpensive, flexible, user-friendly and will perform to the stated requirements as well as allow online access. I suggest that you contact the Executive Director at AHS to discuss specifics.

We in Hull are planning a similar project, with similar questions.  I'd be quite interested in any suggestions as well.

	present and future digital photos. We want to consolidate all of our 
	photo images in a single location, so they can be accessed easily by 
	staff and docents. Also, we want to set up a database that will allow 
	us to cross-reference and search for them under a variety of 
	categories. Can anyone recommend good photo management software for us 
	to consider. Pastperfect software has been suggested. Does anyone 
	have experience with it? Other software suggestions? Advice about 
	getting started?
