Our registrar uses an application called "Accession" by OakTree software specialists at 498 Palm Springs Drive, Suite 100, Alamonte Springs, Florida 32701, USA Tel. (407) 339-5855 It is more than just a simple data-base management program. It is a self-contained program optimized for museum applications for a variety of collection types. I think they only have it for the MacIntosh, but one should check with them to be certain.
