Instituto Butantan — Centro de Memória and Museu de Saúde Pública Emílio Ribas

Instituto Butantan developed a digital repository for the collections of its Memory Centre and the Emílio Ribas Museum of Public Health between 2020 and 2022. Funded through São Paulo state's ProAC cultural programme, the project selected AtoM as its open-source platform for research, discovery and public sharing of digital documents about the history of the institute and public health in São Paulo. The contractor Mercúrio Digitalizações identified requirements, helped select the software, digitised material, customised and implemented the repository, evaluated accessibility and provided maintenance during the project. Butantan staff selected material and metadata fields, catalogued documents, tested the platform and prepared its texts. The institutional account does not identify an earlier database or describe transfer from one, so this is a documented implementation and digitisation project rather than a legacy-system migration.
