ICA-AtoM provides an EAD import functionality that can be used to import hierarchical archival descriptions along with related authority records and archival institutions.

In ICA-AtoM 1.0.8 only administrators can import archival descriptions. In ICA-AtoM 1.1 other types of users may also have permission to import, based on user permissions set by the administrator.

  1. Select an XML fle to import
    In the main menu, click the "Admin > Import" tab
  2. In the import an XML file area, click on the "Browse" button

  3. Navigate to the XML file to be imported and click the "Open" button

  4. Click the "Upload" button

  5. File successfully imported
    If the file is successfully uploaded, the page will read "Objects successfully imported."

    If there are errors in the file, the page will display a message describing the errors. However, it should still be possible to edit and view the imported descriptions (step six, below). You will need to review them carefully to determine whether the errors in the import file were serious enough to affect the display of the descriptions.

  6. Click the "Edit archival description" button to go to the edit page of the highest level of description in the imported archival descriptions
