You can do all that in MS Access as well as in new versions of Paradox and,
my favorite, FileMaker. I've got my collection in MS Access. It didn't take
long to make a database that fit my needs (vs. using one that someone else
had created), and you certainly don't need cgi. If you're planning to put it
online, that's a different matter. For that I'd probably recommend
FileMaker.
