Welcome to Axiell Collections & the Collections Help

Axiell Collections is a web-based Collections Management System (CMS) designed to manage the digital and physical collections of Archives, Libraries (special libraries) and Museums.

Our aim with this Help is to document the functionality available in Axiell Collections and to demonstrate how to use it. For the most part we do not advise you how to document a collection. Our software is designed to assist collections professionals to document their items and processes according to the world's best cataloguing standards, and we believe that you know better than we do how to document your own organization's collection.

However, we also appreciate that some users may benefit from advice about what data to enter when documenting collection items and processes, and to that end we provide a supplementary How do I...? section.

If you are new to our Collections Management System (CMS) and to this Online Help, be sure to glance through this section. Here you will discover what Help is available and how to get help when you need it.

You will also find:

Administration of Collections is documented elsewhere and the Administration section in this Help is intended to supplement the user documentation with more advanced information rather than to provide full details for Administrators.
