Wow. Sorry to hear of your issue. I never thought this would be an issue. I have had access to the collections database here at the CAM since the day I started. We have 'view only' access but, we use it all the time. It is regularly updated by registrar and is used to locate objects on display or in storage. It also offers info like location history, dimensions, and handling notes. Even arthandler notes can be added if needed. Good luck, hope you gain access. It can only help with work flow for all involved. PJ
