To Ruth:

Many thanks; the People's History Museum in Manchester uses the KE Emu
collection management system, as do the four other museums in the city
holding designated collections (Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester
Museum, Whitworth Art Gallery, Museum of Science and Industry). It's an
excellent and very powerful system, which allows images to be easily
published to the internet. If you want to get more information about our
use of KE Emu (Emu stands for "Electronic museum") , contact Phil Dunn,
our Registrar on 0161 228 7212 or via [log in to unmask] KE Software
is an Australian company, but KE Software (UK) Limited have an office in
Manchester: 0161 236 9209. Ask for Ben Sullivan or Alex Fell.

Best wishes

Jim Garretts, Keeper, the People's History Museum.
