In 1992, the varied holdings from the Museum were assembled in index cards and odd peices of notebook paper. As early as 1994 a word-processing file was assembled for the description and organization of both loaned and permanent collection items. This file was transferred to a data-base file. Both of these forays into digital collections management utilized proprietary software. Open-source code was found to be an ideal solution for a small, alternative, "close to the ground" repository.
