EMu is the Field Museum's collections management system (CMS)

It's primary functions are:

  1. The central repository for digital records of the museum collections objects and specimens.
  2. The method by which loans and object movements are logged and tracked, both for research and exhibitions.

The software was developed by KE Software which was eventually consumed by the Axiell Group.

For further questions about the use of EMu within a particular department contact the relevant power user.

NOTE: Prior to 2022 EMu was also the Museum's Digital Asset Management System (DAMS). In 2023 the Technology Department implemented a dedicated DAMS.

CURRENT DAMS: NetX
