Arctos is a collection management system for natural and cultural history museums and collections. This repo functions as the user forum for issues.
Current public code releases are posted here.
Arctos is an ongoing effort to integrate access to specimen and object data, collection-management tools, and external resources on the Web. Nearly all that is known about a cataloged item can be included in Arctos, and, except for some data encumbered for proprietary reasons, data are open to the public.
Access Arctos: https://arctos.database.museum/
