Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) — Arquivo Central

The Arquivo Central of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba implemented ICA-AtoM through a practical Archival Science laboratory project in the first term of 2018. The university's Information Technology Superintendence hosted the software on a web server, while students and archive staff developed an organic and functional arrangement prototype and manually described a collection of newspaper clippings created by the communications office. Their work drew on NOBRADE, ISAD(G) and ISDIAH and produced a tutorial for future users of the Central Archive. The case study reports a practical system limitation: an unsaved session could not remain open indefinitely, so users saved their descriptions at intervals of less than fifteen minutes to avoid losing work. The project demonstrates a documented institutional installation and a defined descriptive workflow. It does not establish an automated import from a legacy database or claim that the whole university archive had been catalogued.
