Sam at BLAGWhat technology would you suggest I use to start building a web-based log/database of things in my collection/archive?These range from books to prints to original artworks to stickers and even small physical objects.I was looking at Zotero, which ticks a few boxes, but would prefer something that's a bit more stripped back in terms of detail, and works for a wider range of items.

Rich Puchalsky ⩜⃝Can someone give me <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiving</a> advice?I've started some archival collections and placed them at US universities, figuring that those had the best chances for long-term storage. I think that specialty archiving organizations are likely to run out of money or get shut down at some point and US national archives are going to get censored or destroyed. But US universities are not holding up very well. Any ideas for outside-the-US stable institutions that would be interested in US collections?
