Welcome

This is the default homepage for AtoM.

AtoM is a fully web based archival description application that is based on International Council on Archives (ICA) standards. AtoM is an acronymn for Access to Memory.

The ICA and its project collaborators are making this application available as open source software to provide archival institutions with a free and easy to use option for putting their archival collections online. See the about page to learn more about the AtoM project.

See the online documentation to learn more about using the software or press the browse button on the right to view some sample data.

You can search using a basic system, but you also have the possibility to perform advanced searches, which generate complete results with the multi-level archival descriptions of each entry.

Users also have the possibility to search by title, place, series, sub-series and year.
