No two archives are alike, and most collections management systems weren't designed for archival materials. They impose rigid structures that don't respect the integrity or diversity of the data. Describing and organizing archival holdings requires precision, and a system flexible enough to accommodate the scope and scale of what's actually there.

Do more than just maintain records. Make collections discoverable, share findings with researchers and collaborators, and create something that highlights the objects in your care.

With Objects & Order:

Build custom data structures for the specialized materials in your archive
Use your own terminology, standards, and descriptive practices
Keep object data, images, captions, and documentation together in one space
Create and publish digital exhibitions from your archival holdings
Share a curated selection of objects with researchers and collaborators
Import and export data via CSV or JSON, and access and download files whenever you need them

Create a Base, your space for collections and digital exhibitions.

Also for Artists, Collectors, Independent Curators, Museum Professionals and Scholars.
