Goal(s): Provide a registration system to register technical collection items.
Current state: In progress (85%)
Backstory: Current collection registration systems for museums are not capable of hosting collections like the collection of the HomeComputerMuseum. Changes inside objects (hardware changes), multiple versions of the same object and a history on repairs is not available. The HomeComputerMuseum built their own system back in 2018 but it’s too slow to host > 25.000 objects. Therefor, we will rewrite it from scratch in a faster manner and will release this software to other museums and in the future to consumers too.
Timeline
