[spcollig] Database solutions for the Archives

[Laurie Sauer]

Hello, 

I am not an Archivist, but I am responsible for implementing technology solutions in the library. In our Archives, we currently do not use a database solution for the ingesting and managing of archives materials, but I am looking at Archon and The Archivists' Toolkit. I would very much appreciate any comments you might have about the pros and cons of each system based on your experience with either implementation and management from a technical point of view and/or with end user experiences with the system, or any comments at all, really. Also, if you are using a commercial product, could you tell me what that is and how you like it? 

I'll summarize responses for the list anyone else thinks it would be useful. Many thanks.
