Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG) — Coordenação de Arquivo Geral

The Universidade Federal do Rio Grande used AtoM 2.2 to describe and provide online access to minutes of its University Council. The applied research project treated a 0.7-linear-metre series covering 1970–1995, cleaned and organised the paper records, and created 3,557 TIFF preservation images totalling about 101 GB. Access derivatives in PDF were linked to multilevel descriptions in AtoM. By publication, 242 meeting minutes and their digital representatives were available through the university website, allowing researchers to consult them without handling the originals. The authors found the software understandable and effective, while stressing that successful use depends on archival concepts and descriptive standards. The evidence concerns this defined council series rather than migration of FURG's complete archive or a predecessor database, and the original permanent paper records were retained.
