During SAA 2013 I had the pleasure of participating as a speaker in Session 109, “Pushing the Envelope: Using Object Collections Management Systems to Catalogue Archives”. Many thanks to my fellow panelists Carol Bartels, Mary Hope and Barbara Mathe, our session chair Sarah Demb, and our large and engaged audience. And special thanks to our late colleague Susan von Solis who was instrumental in forming the session.
The slides for my talk entitled, “Making Connections: Museum CMS and Archives at The Henry Ford”, can be found here (in PDF format):

If you are interested in continued discussion about the use of museum, or object-oriented, collection management systems in the management of archival collections, consider dropping by the Google Group, “Archivists Using Museum Collection Management Systemsâ€.
See you in DC for SAA 2014!
