Hello Steven and Everyone, Great discussion. I work with a lot of cultural heritage organizations as a consultant. The two open source systems I support the most are:
1. Collective Access (http://collectiveaccess.org/) Robust collection management, able to track objects, related documents, condition reports, appraisals, storage and exhibitions, loans, scholarship. public facing desktop and mobile apps available for creating access your collections. 2. ResourceSpace (http://www.resourcespace.com/) is less complex, quick to set up, use when you require media management or sharing with other internal teams like marketing, it does well integrating with a collection management solution like C/A TMS, Emu. Also integrated with youtube, vimeo, and social networks. Both of these run in a LAMP environment as you would use for Wordpress or Drupal.
