My husband thinks I’m nuts because I love keeping catalogs of our books, movies, music, etc etc. I use LibraryThing for my books - and love it to bits, but if you want to catalog your other collections you might want to try out some of these open source applications that I found on OStatic:

• Tellico - This KDE app comes with handy templates for managing your book, wine, video game, coin, or stamp collection.
• Griffith - Keep your movie collection in order with this app that automatically grabs film information and cover art from the Internet.
• GCstar - Designed for use on systems with gtk2-perl, this app helps you maintain all kinds of collections from stamps to mini-vehicles.
• Alexandria - If you need a simple app to manage your monstrous book collection, then check out this Alexandria for the GNOME desktop.
• Sisimizi - This Windows-only video game database app comes packed with lots of handy features including a scripting system to fetch game info from the Internet, customizable data fields, and loan manager.
