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!

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.

Thanks for the responce!
