ICA-AtoM provides an import functionality that can be used to import archival descriptions, authority records, archival institutions and terms.
The following filetypes can be imported:
- EAD (hierarchical archival descriptions and associated authority records, repositories and taxonomy terms)
- Dublin Core XML, MODS XML (archival descriptions and associated taxonomy terms)
- EAC (authority records)
- SKOS (hierarchical taxonomies)
- In the main menu, hover your cursor over the "Import" menu and select "XML".
- Click Browse to select a file
- Click Import
- If the file is successfully uploaded, the page will read "import completed." 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. 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.
- Click the "View archival description" button to go to the edit page of the highest level of description in the imported archival descriptions. You will be able to view and edit this description and its child records just as you would if you had entered them in ICA-AtoM instead of importing them.
