I've recently been looking for cataloguing software that will help me to describe and keep track of the film in my filing cabinet, the scans on my hard drives, and the associated prints and so on. I've settled on using the Java SEPIADES software tool:
Download SEPIADES tool version 1.1

This free open source application, which seems to run under most operating systems, was produced to satisfy guidelines set by a working group from European libraries and museums concerned with how best to catalogue their photographic collections. The software and their guidelines are especially well documented:

Although I did need to revalidate some of the XSL files used for exporting records to Dublin Core, I am very happy with what this system provides. It should enable me to keep track of all the images I produce *and* all the different manifestations of the original images.
Still, all this leads me to wonder what others are doing. How do you approach the problem of keeping track of your photographs, digital images, and prints etc.?
Best,
Richard
