Arquivo Público Municipal de Caetité (APMC)

The Arquivo Público Municipal de Caetité provides online access to archival descriptions through an AtoM catalogue supported by the Universidade do Estado da Bahia. A chapter on the archive's inter-institutional governance describes the use of Access to Memory to make civil registers of births, marriages and deaths available to registry officials, improving service for residents who would otherwise have to travel to the municipal centre. The shared catalogue also represents historical and family holdings from the municipal archive, while requests for digital images can be handled through the APMC service. This is a useful example of a small municipal archive obtaining digital access infrastructure through continuing cooperation among the municipality, UNEB and other public bodies. The evidence does not establish a standalone APMC installation in 2021, an automated transfer from a prior database or the broader technical implementation story claimed in the Phase VI report.
