Implemented ICA-AtoM for archival-description teaching

Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES) — Archival Science programme

The Archival Science programme at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo implemented ICA-AtoM in 2014 as a live teaching environment for archival arrangement and description. Following a technical visit to the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, UFES's technology team installed the software on a dedicated server for the course. Students then entered descriptions for institutional documentary series, including all 1,752 items in one series and most of a second series. Before the first term of 2015, the installation was updated to AtoM 2.1 and the existing descriptions were exported into the newer version. Staff adapted terminology from European to Brazilian Portuguese, aligned fields with NOBRADE and converted large TIFF representatives to smaller JPEG files because of the server's configured upload limit. The source says an update to AtoM 2.3 was planned for 2016; it does not prove that update was completed or that the platform managed the university's entire administrative archive.
