The Problem We Solved
Serious collectors deserve better than scattered files and outdated tools.
Spreadsheet Chaos
Excel files, Access databases, and paper records scattered across folders. No images, no links, no structure.
Trapped on One Machine
Local-only tools mean you can't access your collection from anywhere else. One hard drive failure and it's gone.
Impossible to Share
Want to show fellow collectors your pieces? Good luck emailing spreadsheets and photo folders.
Our Story
War Chest was born from a real problem. Like many collectors, we had years of militaria documented in Microsoft Access databases, Excel spreadsheets, and folders of photos with cryptic filenames.
Finding a specific piece meant digging through multiple files. Sharing the collection with other enthusiasts was nearly impossible. And the constant fear of a hard drive failure taking everything with it? That was always in the back of our minds.
So we built what we wished existed: a modern, secure, web-based archive designed specifically for militaria collectors. One that understands the nuances of cataloging historical pieces, from era classification to provenance tracking.
War Chest is a father and son project, both named Chris, built to organize and preserve a collection we're proud of.
