- I am not a native-born archivist but a convert. I am, in real life, a museum collections manager. It just so happens that most of my museum collection is archival. I am learning as fast as I can, and I have it on good authority that things are not at all bleak in my collection. But I am still regretting that I only did that one class in archiving at the Library school while I was at UT, Austin. Just wasn't thinking ahead.

You can browse it and see if it suits your needs. FCLA has created a DigiTool test site for me to get the hang of uploading. In the mean time I have uploaded the images that will be on DigiTool, into Archon. When the DigiTool records are created, I will go back and delete the images in Archon and then create the link to the DigiTool record. This will give you a sense of what Archon is and what it can do. The images in Archon are jpg and a lower dpi. The images in DigiTool will be jp2 and higher dpi. I can send you the link for the DigiTool test site if you like (It is a long URL), however I only have one record so far. A big downside to DigiTool is that it is a commercial application, whereas Archon is free.
