Adopted AtoM for private archival fonds

Fundação Nacional de Artes (Funarte) — Centro de Documentação e Pesquisa

The Centro de Documentação e Pesquisa of Brazil's Fundação Nacional de Artes uses AtoM to provide online access to private archives and collections relating to the arts. Funarte's current service page directs researchers to two distinct databases: AtoM for archival and collection material, including audiovisual and iconographic documents within private fonds, and SophiA for the CEDOC's bibliographic holdings. This division is important because it demonstrates institutional adoption of an archival platform without implying that every CEDOC collection was consolidated into one system. The service encompasses varied formats such as photographs, video and audio carriers, posters and drawings, reflecting the mixed artistic documentation held by the centre. Earlier project records proposed moving selected SophiA records and digital representatives into AtoM, but the accessible evidence does not establish a completed wholesale migration. The entry is therefore limited to verified operational adoption, with no predecessor system or implementation year asserted.
