摘要

The contribution of museum collections to modern scientific research has increased significantly due to the development of modern omics technologies and methods of genetic analysis. However, despite the transition to digital data storage formats, their handling and collection management are still fraught with difficulties. Existing software tools are designed to solve specific tasks and often require advanced technical skills that limits the scope of their applicability. To solve these problems, we have developed BearBase, a convenient and portable database management system that does not require advanced information technology expertise. It has both server and client components, supports offline operation, as well as synchronization with mobile devices for working in the field. Users can easily import data from formats such as MS Excel and modify the database structure as needed. The open-source software is available on GitHub. Currently, BearBase stores data on about 500 specimens of the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) from the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg), covering the time interval of active research and industrial development of the Arctic region from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. In addition, the system can be used to manage collections of any biological or medical samples.
