Collections · Collection managementLive

Every object. Every story. Catalogued.

A collection management system for museums, archives and collectors — catalogue objects, attach media and publish to the public, with access controlled by role.

A collection is only as valuable as what you know about it. Collections keeps every object, image and record in one searchable place.

Who it’s for.

Museums & galleries

Catalogue holdings, manage images and publish selected works online.

Archives & libraries

Digitise records and make them searchable for staff and researchers.

Private collectors

Document provenance, condition and media for every piece you own.

Everything it does.

Rich cataloguing

Structured records for objects — artist, period, medium, dimensions, provenance and custom fields.

Digital assets

Attach high-resolution images, video and documents to every record.

Fast search

Find any object by keyword, field or filter in seconds.

Role-based access

Admin, curator, collection manager and viewer roles control who can see and edit what.

Public portal

Publish selected objects to a public browsing site, with private fields kept private.

Questions? Answers.

Can we import our existing records?

Yes. We migrate data from spreadsheets and most existing systems as part of onboarding.

Who controls what the public sees?

You do. Each record and field can be marked public or private, and nothing is published without approval.

Can it be customised for our fields?

Yes. Custom fields and record types are configured to match how your collection is described.
