ICA-AtoM allows users to export records in EAD, Dublin Core, and MODS XML formats.

Exporting in EAD format will result in associated child records, authority records, and archival institution records being exported along with the archival descriptions.

  1. In the archival description view page, select an export format
    Go to the view page for the archival description you wish to export. For EAD export, go to the highest level of description. For example, to export a fonds and all its series and files, go to the view page for the fonds-level description.
  2. In the context menu, under "Export" click Dublin Core 1.1 XML, EAD 2002 XML, or MODS 3.3 XML.

    The MODS 3.3 XML export option is only available from the MODS view page; for information on switching archival description templates, see default templates.

  3. Excerpt of exported description in EAD 2002 XML format
    The description will be exported to an XML format and displayed in your web browser window.
  4. To save the XML export file, use your browser's save functionality. To exit the XML export file, click on your browser's back button.
