Case Study: Chinese Historical Society of America streamlines collections management with CatalogIt

Chinese Historical Society of America - Customer Case Study

The Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) faced significant challenges with an outdated, inefficient, and crash-prone collections management system. Their registrar, Brienne Wong, needed a flexible, intuitive, and secure cataloging solution from a vendor to document their vast collection of objects representing Chinese American history. They turned to CatalogIt for its cloud-based collections management software to address these issues.

By implementing CatalogIt's solution, the CHSA gained a streamlined, real-time database accessible from any device. The software's features, including selective publishing, easy record duplication, and powerful search, allowed for efficient cataloging and creative exhibition planning. CatalogIt's API integration was a noted asset for publishing to their website. The results include over 4,500 objects now cataloged, vastly improved response to research requests, and the ability for the team to work remotely.
