Archival institution: contact area

The contact area contains fields conveying information "on how to contact the institution with archival holdings" (ISDIAH 4.4).

Contact information

In the edit archival institution screen, under the Contact area, select "Add new" and ICA-AtoM takes you to the contact information dialog. This contact dialog is used for registering and displaying the institution's contact information.

The contact dialog has three tabs: Main, Physical location and Other details. After entering the data click on the "Submit" button to close the dialog and return to the edit archival institution screen.

You must click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the edit screen to save the data entered into the contact dialog.

There is no limit to the number of contacts you can add to an archival institution. Under the Contact area click the "Add new" hyperlink and ICA-AtoM will present a new contact dialog for data entry.

For rules and examples, see ISDIAH 5.2.1 and 5.2.2.
