The first inventories of what would later become the collections of Basel Historical Museum were drawn up in the late 16th century by Basilius Amerbach. The museum is as committed as ever to this long tradition of archiving and documentation but these days uses cutting-edge technologies such as computer databases and the long-term archiving of electronic data.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you think you could benefit from our experience and expertise in
- creating a collection database
- organizing the inventorying process
- archiving electronic data

We use the open source project myColex for the inventorying and long-term archiving of our collections.
