⁠Access to Memory⁠

Developed and maintained by Artefactual Systems⁠

AtoM (short for Access to Memory) is a web-based, open source application for standards-based archival description and access. The application is multilingual and multi-repository. First commissioned by the International Council on Archives (ICA⁠) to make it easier for archival institutions worldwide to put their holdings online using the ICA’s descriptive standards, the project has since grown into an internationally used community-driven project.
