Museu Nacional dos Povos Indígenas (formerly Museu do Índio) — Ethnographic Collections

The Museu Nacional dos Povos Indígenas, formerly the Museu do Índio and part of FUNAI, uses Tainacan for its museum-object collections. Its official collection-management page says the customized open-source repository was adopted in 2018 and lists 20,965 items in Tainacan. The page distinguishes these from older records in PHL: museum objects entering the institution from 2018 onward were catalogued directly in Tainacan, while earlier PHL records remain available in that system. The museum organizes descriptions using categories including material, technique, Indigenous people and language. The same page treats archival holdings separately: it says an ICA-AtoM database is still in development, with records being migrated from PHL. This case documents Tainacan use for museological collections; it does not claim that Tainacan replaced PHL or that the separate ICA-AtoM project is operational.
