Can anybody reccomend a FOSS replacement for the museum software PastPerfect ? Needs to be available for Windows 10. I was able to find CollectiveAccess and CollectionSpace but neither seem very easy to get setup. “CollectiveAccess” for instance needs to be built from source. This museum has novices at best when it comes to tech.
Realistically speaking you will not find a maintenance free solution, thus especially when there is no in-house expertise you are better off looking for an external service provider. Probably the best would be to find a local company that can set up something on their servers that can be accessed through a browser (servicing individual Window 10 clients is very expensive).
Edit: both options you mention seem to be meant exactly for that. I can’t comment on the functionality, but CollectiveAccess is probably a bit easier to run as it is php based, while CollectionSpace seems to be a more complex Java server application. But this is really only a quick intial impression looking at their websites for 5 minutes.
