Hi Steve & List,
I would also be interested if something already exists...
But making a database (using just Excel or other similar spreadsheet
program, I'm also okay using MS Access) wouldn't be hard, but what
fields should be included?
Since I'm also new to collecting, I wouldn't know off the top of my head
what notes to make sure I record with my acquisitions...
I've noticed that generic info about a meteorite is usually included in
the eBay descriptions and that's easy enough to copy, but what things
about my specific specimen should I take note of??
Also, any advice on how best to display them? (one came with an acrylic
easel...)
(11 meteorites with 2 on the way)
Clear Skies!

Greetings list,
I remember several years ago that one of the list members (I think) had a
meteorite database available on CD. It was simply a matter of downloading to
your computer and it formed the framework for keeping all pertinent info on
your collection, including a place for photos.
Is there something like this still available? If not I would like to ask that
those that do catalogue their collections please give me some ideas on what
programs you are using. I really have no idea of where to start. Any and all
feedback would be greatly appreciated. And if there are any computer geeks on
the list, a CD like the one I mentioned would probably sell quite well here on
the list.
thanx,
Steve
