Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) — Departamento de Arquivo Geral

The General Archive Department at UFSM installed ICA-AtoM through an extension project with the university's Archival Science programme to describe and disseminate its photographic holdings. The project digitised selected negatives as preservation TIFFs and produced JPEG derivatives for online access; AtoM held the access images and archival descriptions rather than the preservation masters. An earlier Microsoft Access database continued in parallel while ICA-AtoM was tested, so the article does not establish a completed Access-to-AtoM migration. The public database offered a web-based sample of the wider photographic archive and encouraged researchers to enquire about material that had not been digitised. The team also translated the ICA-AtoM interface into Brazilian Portuguese for local use and began translating its user manual.
