What computer programs do people like for Organizing their collections?

Hi All!

I am wanting to organize my large collection - everything is in categories and binders - but I want to use a data organizer for my macbook. 

What has any program people here have found helpful and why.

Idatabase looks good so far - but what else do others like?

Thanks!

You could do worse than Homebase. This is free downloadable software. It's meant for booksellers principally but it works equally well for autographs, photographs etc. You can identify your items as such easily in this database - lots of fields, room for notes etc.

You can download it from, e.g. Abebooks.co.uk

Again - thanks so much!

You seem to be the only one reading anything on here!!

That looks like a great idea - but I am on a mac and that only works with PCs - 

Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Cheers!

What do you mean by "The only one reading on here?"

No Dissrepect Ment - Christopher ... just Findbooks answered my questions and seemed to be the only one at the time.

No big deal.  I jumped the gun a bit.

I use Google Sheets / Excel to organize my collection, and a photo gallery for photographing all the items :)

Thanks Yony - 

Google / Excel - is a great idea.

But I was looking for something a bit more like Idatabas - and was looking for one that may be free to use.

Literally just a Notepad doc, sorted by author's last name. It's grown to about 500+ entries.

Sounds like a good way to do it - and it works for you!

Thats the best - I have a bit bigger collection and want to sort by catagory, last names and all that.

Thanks for the responce!
