About BG-Base (UK)
BG-BASE is a database application for managing living and preserved biological collections. It covers collection management, taxonomy and nomenclature, geographic distribution, bibliography and conservation data in one integrated system built from modules that share common fields and a single interface. It can run on stand-alone machines, a local network or a cloud server.
Its users are botanic gardens, arboreta, zoos, herbaria, museums, libraries, university campuses, horticultural societies and private collections. The company's team states it has worked with nearly 400 institutions in over 50 countries.
The system was initiated in 1985 at the request of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and the Threatened Plants Unit of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre. BG-BASE is developed and supported from two centres: BG-BASE Inc. in Dallas, Texas, and BG-BASE (UK) Ltd. in Edinburgh, Scotland. Co-owners Kerry S. Walter and Michael J. O'Neal are the original developers.
Product: BG-BASE, a modular database application for biological collection, taxonomy, distribution, bibliography and conservation management.
