This paper describes the current status and the future outlook for KE EMu, a system for museum collection documentation and management that is capable of monitoring collections and exporting data to websites. Although KE EMu is a collections management system for all museums and collections, it has great potential for natural history collections, especially geological collections that have been relatively neglected. KE EMu Software has been active in supporting efforts to standardize documentation, encompassing all kinds of information (e.g., images, bibliography, exhibition history) that are associated with the item and its management.
