    Welcome to the Museum Archive software project. Museums, Historical Societies, Schools, Nonprofits, and other groups can now organize their collections without spending valuable resources on collection management database software. The purpose of this project is to provide free quality database software to groups that have limited funds. The software is free. You can support the museum project by spreading the word about the free software. In addition, I am selling a book about the database design, and I am offering a Premium edition copy of the software (free) to all (as of Nov 2018). Sales of the book will hopefully give me the resources to make improvements to the application in the future.
