CALM → AtoM
University of Westminster
As part of a wider digital preservation strategy, the University of Westminster's Records and Archives Services moved its archival catalogue from Axiell CALM to AtoM, the open-source, web-based description platform. The change was driven by a desire to provide public online access and improve the discoverability of the University's collections, which had previously sat behind a closed proprietary system. The migration ran alongside the adoption of an Arkivum-based digital preservation workflow, and the new public catalogue went live in autumn 2018. Westminster documented the project in a Jisc-supported report, making it a useful reference point for other UK universities weighing a CALM exit.
