I have a friend who is the Curator of a county museum a few miles
north of San Francisco. She asked me whether there is any software out
there for dealing with museum accessions. I told her that I hadn't the
least idea, but that I would ask in this forum.
Evidently there is a standard format, called the Chenall System, with
a standardized nomenclature and numbering system for handling the records
of accessions of museum collections.
My friend would like to know:
1) Is there any such software out there (commercial or Public
Domain).
2) What machines and operating systems does it run on?
3) What does it cost (if anything)?
4) Does anyone have any experience with it.
Please reply to me by e-mail, since I don't ordinarily monitor this
newsgroup, or directly to her:

There exists a society for the us of computers to catalog art. One of my old professors, Dr. Egon VerHeyan in the Art History department of the Johns Hopkins University (301-338-8000) was involved with it. -Ron
