To: [log in to unmask]


Thanks very much to those who responded to my query about image management software and commercial partners for print on demand companies.

To sum up there were recommendations to consider

Third Light, Celum, Portfolio and House of Images software 

and partnerships with commercial companies Media Storehouse and Picture Cabinet.

I ll also let the list know what we decide to do at Warks.

Best wishes

Dear All

Within Heritage and Culture Warwickshire, which is archives, archaeology, museums, ecology, arts, learning and community engagement, we're looking to develop a picture library that all services can access and use. We've been using a stand alone version of Portfolio for some years and would like to upgrade it. 

Our IT department have suggested that we should look at cloud based solutions and compare with those before making a decision. 

Does anyone have any experience of using cloud based solutions for large picture libraries which may contain personal data?

Does anyone have any experience of open source software for picture libraries?

What other software products are being used within heritage and culture departments to manage images?

My other query was to do with print on demand commercial partnerships. 

We're not in a position to fulfill requests in house because of capacity, but also because of the lack of an online payments system. 

Does anyone have experience of working with print on demand companies that they'd be willing to share?

Please respond off list and if it's ok with everyone  I'll compile responses back.

Best wishes
