The collection, and everything it has been through.

Der Archivar catalogues books, records, manuscripts, prints and ephemera in one place, looks up what can be looked up, and keeps with every object where it came from, where it is on loan and what state it is in.

Tour

A collection in two minutes.

That was Der Archivar. Ask for a look at your own collection.

Demo data: every person, object and figure in the tour is invented.

What it does

Made for collections that are looked after, not just listed.

Every medium

Books, records and CDs, manuscripts, prints and ephemera, each kind with the fields it needs.

Scan the barcode

An ISBN is looked up as a book and a record's code at Discogs, so the catalogue entry starts filled in.

Loans in and out

Outgoing and incoming loans with partner, dates and return, so the whereabouts of every object are known.

Condition on record

Dated condition reports with damage marked on the photo; the restoration list follows from the latest report.

Restoration in view

Which objects need restoration and how urgently, counted on the collection's front page and taken from the latest report.

Found again

Full-text search across every field, a finding aid for the collection and Excel to keep working.

Try it

See it with an invented collection.

The demo holds an invented collection to click through. Write to me and you get an access.

For your own archive, library or museum I set up a separate workspace and bring your existing lists over.
