Diretoria do Patrimônio Histórico e Documentação da Marinha — Projeto COLUSO

The Brazilian Navy's archive department manages a COLUSO project to digitise, describe and index the Secretaria de Estado e Negócios da Marinha fonds held by the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro. The records include correspondence between ships and naval forces, particularly from the Imperial Navy, the regency conflicts and the Wars of the Platine region. Project staff describe the material under NOBRADE and publish descriptions and digital objects through AtoM. The source states that two project scholarship holders digitise records at IHGB using Navy equipment, while five others describe and insert the digital objects into AtoM. This is a defined collaborative digitisation and access implementation for one fonds. No predecessor database or system transfer is identified, so it is not classified as a migration of the Navy's wider archival infrastructure.
