Vernon Cataloguing
Vernon CMS is a leading collections management system used in some of the largest and most prestigious institutions in the United States, Australasia and Europe. Vernon CMS provides a unique combination of sophistication and ease-of-use making it suitable for virtually any type of institution, from single user sites to major institutions with networked systems, multiple users, multiple sites and collections running into the millions of objects.

Vernon Cataloguing is the cornerstone of the Vernon CMS product range and is the culmination of research and development started in 1985. Vernon Cataloguing handles all types of objects, such as:

  • Fine and decorative arts
  • Ethnographic and historic artefacts
  • Natural environment specimens
  • Ephemera
  • Archives and audio-visual materials

More importantly, these can be accommodated in a common relational system, all at the same time. Discipline-specific perspectives provide user-focused views, while the common structure allows museum-wide retrieval and reporting across departmental boundaries - such as finding all items associated with a certain place, person or event.

Features are what set Vernon CMS apart. A consistent user-friendly interface, comprehensive on-line Help, and easy navigation via menus make it easy to learn and use.
