Museums, galleries, and collectors need to catalog their pieces rigorously. Specific museology software is old and expensive. **Jestor** allows building a modern catalog, recording the history, location, conservation status, and insurance value of each work.

### **The Artwork Record**

Create custom fields standard software lacks:

- "Technique used."
- "Historical Period."
- "Restoration History." Attach high-res photos and authenticity reports to the same record.

### **Movement Control**

Is the piece being loaned for an exhibition? Log in Jestor: "Departure on the 10th," "Carrier X," "Return expected on the 30th." You know exactly where every piece of the collection is.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does Jestor follow museology standards?** Since it's a builder, you can create fields following international standards (Object ID) as you wish.

**Is it safe and private?** Yes. Private collectors use Jestor for security and discretion, keeping inventory away from vulnerable spreadsheets.

**Can I publish the collection online?** Yes. You can use Jestor's API to feed the museum's website, creating a public digital collection automatically.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, you preserve the history and organization of your collection with cutting-edge technology.
