I think I'm sold on its ease of use, if you can just click a button and it's on line then I'm all in! We do have IT support and I think it you have clever website people they can customise how it looks. Thanks for the tips on the photographs, I think we'll definitely look at photographing in landscape and portrait so we have a choice. Thanks again for getting back to me Best wishes Helen From: Social History Curators Group email list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rachael Bowers Sent: 22 May 2019 13:45 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Axiell online This is an email sent via the SHCG List.

This is the result: http://collections.yorkminster.org/ The pros are that it's reasonably straight forward if you don't have much IT support at your institution, and there is a basic list of options to choose from so that they can customise the appearance of the website and what information you choose to display. We were able to make the information available in subsections of the catalogue as we finished digitising records. It wasn't always easy to get changes made when we needed them as it seemed to be just one man doing everything, and as you can see the website design is very early noughties! We did require a little IT support internally when sending information across to Axiell, so that's something to consider. I wish we had photographed everything in landscape view, as it loads much nicer on the page! I hope that's useful and do get in touch if you have any specific questions, Rachael.

We're not ready to put things online yet but we are using it as our Collections Management System, and so far I'm really happy with it. I'd be more than happy to discuss our experiences so far if it would be useful. My work email is [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> - feel free to drop me a line.
