CatalogIt is a cloud-based software used for managing and sharing collections. [1]
CatalogIt was established in 2015 by Dan Rael and Howard Burrows to document Rael's personal collection of Native American artifacts. [2] Rael needed a system to document the artifacts so Burrows created a cloud-based, mobile app to serve Rael's needs, having found no other system for documenting ethnographic collections. [2]
In 2016, CatalogIt facilitated a release of the software to a limited, invite-only group within the private collector community. [2] Exposure and review of the software in 2017 attracted the attention of Joy Tahan Ruddell, a museum registrar. [2] Recognizing its potential utility for museum collections management, Ruddell joined Rael and Burrows to further improve the software. [2]
As a result of their collaboration, CatalogIt has expanded its reach beyond individual collectors, and has been adopted by museums and organizations globally, including the Berkeley Historical Society, [2] the National Black Doll Museum of History & Culture, [2] Fort Adams Trust, [3] Kinsman Free Public Library, [4] St. Joseph Museum, [5] and the Basque Museum and Cultural Center. [2]
CatalogIt's users are predominantly museums, historical societies, and other cultural and historical organizations. [6] The software enables the cataloging of a range of items, including artwork, letters, and various forms of three-dimensional objects. [6] A built-in classification system prompts users to provide details about their uploaded items, such as the type and origin of photographs. [6]
CatelogIt provides an option to the user to either share their collections on the public CatalogIt HUB or maintain private databases. [2] [7] It also enables users to browse or search thousands of entries across multiple topics and categories on the CatalogIt HUB. [2]
CatalogIt also supports QR code look-up and process management. [8]
In software engineering, software configuration management is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software, part of the larger cross-disciplinary field of configuration management. SCM practices include revision control and the establishment of baselines. If something goes wrong, SCM can determine the "what, when, why and who" of the change. If a configuration is working well, SCM can determine how to replicate it across many hosts.

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. Large clouds often have functions distributed over multiple locations, each of which is a data center. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and typically uses a pay-as-you-go model, which can help in reducing capital expenses but may also lead to unexpected operating expenses for users.

A collection manager ensures the proper care and preservation of objects within cultural institutions such as museums, libraries, and archives. Collection managers, along with registrars, curators, and conservators, play an important role in collections care. Collection Managers and Registrars are two distinct collection roles that are often combined into one within small to mid-size cultural institutions. Collection Managers can be found in large museums and those with a history and natural history focus whose diverse collections require experienced assessment to properly sort, catalog, and store artifacts. A collection manager may oversee the registrar, archivist, curator, photographer, or other collection professionals, and may assume the responsibilities of these roles in their absence within an organization.
