CSV metadata and digital objects → AtoM pilot

Centro de Referência da Música de Minas — Museu Clube da Esquina (UFMG)

The Centro de Referência da Música de Minas–Museu Clube da Esquina tested AtoM as a local access platform for a UFMG museum-network pilot. Staff implemented the archival arrangement in AtoM 2.3.0, prepared a CSV crosswalk for existing metadata and loaded 9,536 digital objects occupying about 520 GB, including 8,730 images, 383 videos and 213 audio files. The work encountered PHP compatibility problems, default upload limits and special handling for video files larger than 2 GB. Archivematica could not be installed because the team lacked sufficient technical support, so the intended preservation integration was not realised. AtoM performed well for archival description and access, but adapting its archival metadata model to museum collections proved unsatisfactory without deeper code changes. This is a substantial local pilot and metadata import, not evidence of a continuing public production service.
