SIAAPM / legacy finding aids → AtoM (in progress)

Arquivo Público Mineiro

The Arquivo Público Mineiro prepared a structured migration of descriptions from its Sistema Integrado de Acesso do Arquivo Público Mineiro (SIAAPM) and more than 125 years of finding aids into AtoM. Its 2024 import manual describes the migration as imminent and instructs staff to reallocate existing information to AtoM fields rather than create replacement descriptions. At that point 95 fonds had been described and were intended for publication. Because manual entry would have been too slow, the archive selected AtoM's CSV templates for bulk import, mapping inherited identifiers, hierarchy, titles, dates, extent, access conditions and other descriptive elements into corresponding fields. This entry records an active migration programme, not a claim that every description or fonds had already completed the move in 2024.
