About CatalogIt
CatalogIt is an intuitive and powerful app created for cataloging and managing collections, and for publishing to the Web. It has the depth to satisfy serious museum professionals, is rich in classifications to delight the private collector, and is user-friendly and approachable for volunteers and docents.
CatalogIt is designed to tell the Story of Things. Each story begins with a single item — where, how, and by whom it was made; what it was used for; and how it came to be where it is today. As an item’s story unfolds, it is enriched with relationships to other items, people, and places based on shared physical characteristics and history. CatalogIt makes it easy to discover those interconnected stories, record them in detail, and present them in an accessible, inspiring format.
