Mount Royal University
Mount Royal University in Calgary launched its public 'Archives Search' on AtoM in 2018, migrating over 2,600 historical descriptive records and around 1,400 digitised photographs from a legacy system. The driving motivation was pedagogical: connecting students and faculty to primary sources remotely, without requiring a physical visit to the reading room. Though modest in scale next to state archives, it illustrates how a university archive can use AtoM to push digitised primary-source imagery directly to off-campus learners — a Canadian academic case profiled in AtoM's own community success stories.
