Catalog your collection in minutes.
Share it with the world.

Collection management for small historical societies and museums. Import from spreadsheets or any standard catalog format. Publish a public gallery. No sales call needed.

No credit card required. Free forever plan. Your public gallery is included — not an upsold add-on.

How it works

From a box of photos to a searchable online gallery in an afternoon.

1

Create your archive

Sign up, name your organization, and you're ready. No software to install.

2

Add items

Snap a photo or upload a scan. Type a title. Hit save. Add details later when you have time.

3

Organize

Sort into collections. Add tags. Search and filter. Bulk edit hundreds of items at once.

4

Share

Your gallery is public. Embed it on your website. Share links. Your items are backed up for long-term preservation.

📥

Already have items in a spreadsheet or existing catalog system?

Import your existing catalog as a CSV. We auto-map common column names from standard catalog exports and create custom fields for anything we don't recognize. Your data moves over in minutes, not weeks.

Try it free

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built for volunteer-run organizations with no IT staff. If you can use a phone, you can catalog a collection.

📸

Add items in seconds

Drag a photo, type a title, hit save. That's it. Add detailed metadata later when you have time. Volunteer-friendly.

🏛️

Beautiful public gallery

Permanent preservation

Every item is archived for the long term using free, open infrastructure. Your collection outlives any technology, and you're never locked in.

Catalog from your phone

Standing in front of a shelf? Snap a photo, type a title, done. Vitrine is designed for mobile first, not as an afterthought.

Search that just works

One search box. Type anything. Filter by collection, date, format, tags. Find what you need in seconds, not minutes.
