I'm looking for suggestions for some software to create a user-friendly database of people - index cards basically - in some work research I'm doing. I'm aiming for between 100 and 1000 cards.
Each person has their own card with a few predefined fields:
Name, DOB, Nationality, short biography, bibliography, tags, at least one photo (preferably several) and maybe a general text field.
The information is searchable and presumably can be filtered or sorted eg by nationality.
Contacts would be OK but I don't want to mess with my personal contacts / address book. If could create a second Contacts book, I'd use that.
I've kind of ruled out Excel and Numbers because I want nice embedded fields - but if I find nothing else I'll probably use Numbers. Filemaker is way too big, expensive and complex for this job. I don't want to use some real database software either (SQL software etc) - way too complicated for someone like me. Bento would probably have been OK for this if it still existed…
Thanks in advance
