If you're looking for something tailored to archaeological collections you
might want to look at Shared
Shelfhttp://www.artstor.org/shared-shelf/s-html/shared-shelf-home.shtml. It
has integrated the ArchaeoCore metadata standard being developed at UVA.

I realize that this questions has probably been asked several times. Can
anyone recommend a Digital Asset Management for an *archaeological* based
collection? Or, if you are willing to share with me (offline) any programs
you would not recommend?
Our collections database is in Microsoft Access. I don't want to reinvent
the wheel for archiving (since there are already several good programs) and
would prefer using a proprietary program to manage our growing digital
collections (including scanned field notes, photos, etc.)
Thanks,

Cairie,
The one advantage of having the data in a spreadsheet (besides being able
to filter and search) would be that if your museum ever does implement a
CMS or DAMS, you can pretty easily import your records directly into the
new platform in xml format.

I have a question about photo metadata and how to record it. So while
digitizing negatives, I've been recording the metadata into an excel
sheet. I'm following Dublin Core and added some preservation metadata
fields. Anywho, considering the institution I'm volunteering for
doesn't have a DAMS or CMS, I was thinking of embedding the metadata
using Photoshop. I successfully completed one image's embedded
metadata and it wasn't difficult or too time consuming. The REAL
question is...is it worth it? Should I just be doing the Dublin Core
metadata in the Excel sheet OR just the IPTC metadata in Photoshop? Or
is both great? Ultimately, I want to prep these photos so that if/when
they do get a DAMS, they'll be easily added to the system with all
their information.
Any input or completely different suggestions would be greatly
appreciated :D Thank you!!
