Collections Management Systems
Collections Management Systems
This wiki provides an update to iDigBio's 2012 resource, Biological Collections Databases, Tools, and Data Publication Portals.
iDigBio gathers information about collections management system (CMS) options to share with the natural history collections community, both as an online resource available to anyone, and as a reference specifically for participants in our Digitization Academy courses. We have asked representatives of each CMS to respond to a survey containing a standard set of questions, which we believe can be helpful for potential new users comparing CMS options. These surveys, as well as additional resources, are organized by CMS option (alphabetically) below.
If you are a CMS representative and wish to be added to this list, or to update the information here, please contact Erica Krimmel (ekrimmel@fsu.edu).
