The contact area contains fields conveying information "on how to contact the institution with archival holdings" (ISDIAH 4.4).
Contact information
This is a multi-value field for registering and displaying the institution's contact information.
Enter the data (see steps 2-4 below); when you save the record the contact address will be registered and will now appear in the list above the data entry fields.
There is no limit to the number of contacts you can add, but as of the current version of ICA-AtoM (1.0 beta) you can only register them one at a time, i.e. enter the data, click the "save" button, repeat for each additional contact.
For rules and examples, see ISDIAH 5.2.1 and 5.2.2.
