Heather,
I can't recall exact dates, but I wrote several grants 7-8 years ago to
purchase PastPerfect cataloging software as well as a new computer and an TB
external drive for cataloging and heritage photo archive storage. The
grants came from a local philanthropic non-profit and a bank in Price
County.
The first stop I would make is to contact Janet Seymour at WHS UWEC or go
direct to WHS in Madison. Believe they can provide some good, current
advice on your requirements. For example, you might/might be able to snag
an intern from UW to assist in your endeavor.
Regards, Glenn Brazelton

Subject: RE: Inquiry on digital systems consultant
Hello,
I am seeking advice on overhauling a computer system in a small, regional
museum. I have conducted a needs assessment for this organization that
operates with outdated computer equipment, and among the short-term
priorities are technology improvements for cataloguing, digital storage,
access and even website re-design.
Has anyone on this list
* hired an outside consultant to review computer systems for
suggestions on equipment upgrades and set up?
* written grants for said consultant?
* If so, which grants? And, which consultant (friend or firm)?
* written grants for purchasing computer and other related digital
equipment? If so, which grants?
* hired a web designer/manager?
* written grants for said web designer/manager?
* If so, which web designer/manager?
We thank you for your suggestions in advance.
Sincerely,
Heather Sonntag
