Digitisation → Archivematica + AtoM
Prefeitura Municipal de Porto Alegre — Coordenação de Gestão Documental
Porto Alegre's municipal records coordination team developed an integrated preservation and access workflow around Archivematica and AtoM between 2021 and 2023. The team began using AtoM in 2021 alongside the city's historical archive, which had adopted it in 2017. Training in 2023 accompanied an upgrade from AtoM 2.4.1 to 2.7.1 and the installation and interconnection of Archivematica. Paper and microfilm records are digitised for preservation in Archivematica, while descriptions and access copies are published through AtoM. The first reported transfer comprised digital representatives of the Diário Oficial de Porto Alegre for 1995–2003, created as PDF/A files and accompanied by Dublin Core metadata uploaded from CSV.
