We use orangeleaf's collections base system to create our black country history website. Http://blackcountryhistory.org.uk The system aggregates data from 10 different partners collections databases and allows users of the website to seamlessly search the collections. If you want to contact me off list I am happy to discuss how it works for us.

Subject: Online collections databases
Dear All,
I'm wondering if
anyone can help - I'm currently working on a viability project on whether to
update/replace the Wiltshire Council owned website 'Wiltshire Treasures' (an
online collections database for Wiltshire museums). I have started
investigating existing online collections database platforms and have so far
found Europeana, Modes Users Association, Orangeleaf, Historypin, Museum Sites,
Culture Grid and e-Hive. Does anyone have any other website
recommendations, suggestions,
experience of using sites like these, or have decided not to for various
reasons? I would be very interested in getting in touch with you if so.
Many thanks,
Andrea Hodgkin
