PDC Presents Bulk Uploading: Importing Descriptive Records with Archeion

The AAO’s Professional Development Committee presents:

Bulk Uploading: Importing Descriptive Records with Archeion

This two-hour workshop will guide attendees in preparing their descriptive records of their holdings for bulk import into Archeion. This is a practical session intended for heritage institutions that wish to share their descriptive records through Archeion, Ontario’s archival information network. The workshop will be broken into four sections: 

1. Introduction to bulk uploading
2. Overview of the archival description CSV template
3. Example: PDF finding aid to CSV
4. Example: AtoM export to Archeion import

There will be ample opportunity for discussion and questions throughout these discussions.

Participants will learn:

• How to interpret and use the fields in the AtoM archival description CSV template

• How to prepare descriptions exported from a local AtoM instance for import into Archeion

• How to optimize their Archeion presence using AtoM’s tools for connecting records
