Introduced in 1.3 Release is the ability for site Administrators to track digital object storage per repository. Storage limits may be placed on individual repositories by in-house server capacity or on hosted server agreements. If you are utilizing a multi-institutional / portal instance of ICA-AtoM you will need to check with the site Administrator to learn the digital object storage limitations.
From an archival description edit page
In the Repository field of an ISAD, RAD or MODS archival description or in the Relation (isLocatedAt) field of a Dublin Core archival description, type in a new archival institution name. A new archival institution will be created when you save the record.
