using ehive to catalogue and share collection information
DESCRIPTION
eHive is a web-based system to manage cataloguing and access to collection information. It is particularly suited to small museums and consortiums working together. It provides easy options for converting legacy data and for updating the content from anywhere with an Internet connection. You can share collection records on custom WordPress websites or with larger projects such as the Australian National Library's Trove website.TRANSCRIPT
