Dear list members,
As part of a HLF funded project, Mayflower Theatre in Southampton is currently in discussion with System Simulation (SSL), a vendor of the collections management systems “ArchivesIndex+” and “Museums Index+”. They are hoping to acquire a system to be used to catalogue theatre collections to ISAD(G) standard and store digitised images of material (posters, photographs etc) for inclusion in a free-text searchable online gallery.
I was wondering if any list members has had any experience of working with SSL, or any experience of either MuseumsIndex+ or ArchiveIndex+ that they are willing to share.
We are particularly interested in finding out about:
- the positives and negatives of either system
- their ease of use for people who are not archivally trained
- the ease with which fields can be added to the catalogue retrospectively.
Please reply off-list and I will summarise responses.
Thank you,
Helen Raymond
Freelance Archive Officer
