Online training: AtoM Cataloguing Software and Open Refine

The Archives and Records Association, Ireland (ARA,I) is pleased to present the first in a series of two summer training seminars focused on digital and technical skills.
 

Online Training: AtoM Cataloguing Software and Open Refine

Date: Thursday, 23 July 2020

Time: 14:45– 16:30

Platform: Zoom

This 90-minute online session will feature two presentations on tools and software for documenting archival collections and processing metadata.

Lisa Shortall from Offaly Archives and Damien Burke from the Irish Jesuit Archives will give a joint presentation on their experiences with AtoM. AtoM (Access to Memory) is a web-based, open source application for standards-based archival description and access in a multilingual, multi-repository environment. Lisa will focus on AtoM’s main features and how it is used by Offaly Archives as a multi-repository searchable interface. Damien will focus on the transference of legacy finding aids to AtoM and the creation of authority records.

Graham Jevon from the Endangered Archives Programme will be presenting on his use of Open Refine to create uniformity in metadata collected from disparate sources. The Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) facilitates the digitisation of archives around the world that are in danger of destruction, neglect or physical deterioration. The EAP website then provides access to these digital collections for research, education and enjoyment.
