I would suggest that you come to the MCN conference in Pasadena. There usually
are vendors there, and you can network with a number of organizations who use
various Collections Management Software packages.

Hi Jessica,
We use Cuadra Associates, Inc. STAR/Museums at the Glenbow Museum in
Calgary. Our museum collection is comprised of Art, Cultural History,
Military History and Ethnology artifacts, and we're very pleased with
the way the application handles our data. As Kate noted, setting field
standards is an essential element to the usability of your system and
information.
Cuadra also has a STAR/Archives application - your Archives data would
be housed in separate databases, but I know that they have been working
on cross-application searching through their STAR Web interface. The
Virginia Historical Society uses Cuadra's Museum app, Archives app, and
Library app, so they would be a good contact for any additional
information.
Sincerely,
Cathy
