A powerful, multidisciplinary Collections Management System

The EMu Collections Management System has been at the forefront of collections management for more than three decades. Comprehensive and flexible, EMu can accommodate the requirements of any collecting institution.

Build an evolving story around your collections

EMu’s Narratives module allows users to author narrative material and associate it with different components of a collection: objects, sites, people, multimedia resources, events, and so on. Narratives can be developed for specific audiences (primary school children, researchers, the general public for instance) and are suitable for a wide range of purposes, such as exhibition overviews, wall labels, brochures, and web-based stories.

Preserve and manage your multimedia assets

EMu incorporates a comprehensive multimedia management system for handling all of your multimedia assets. The Multimedia module is fully integrated with every other module so that multimedia resources can be associated with any record anywhere throughout EMu.

A responsive web-based interface

Axiell Sapphire is a data entry and editing interface to your EMu data. It allows you to to provide simple easy to use and safe web forms to allow more users to contribute to your collections data. You can design data entry forms to lead your users through the rapid, accurate and efficient capture of data.

Communicate with multiple systems

With rich XML-based import and export capabilities, EMu ensures you can interchange information with any contemporary systems. You can also associate web resources directly with records in your system.
