SFU AtoM - Data entry guidelines
At Simon Fraser University, the SFU Archives and SFU Library's Special Collections and Rare Books share an AtoM instance known as SFU AtoM, using AtoM's multi-institutional functionality.

AtoM installation instructions on CentOS 6.5
Created by community user Ivan Rivera, this tutorial will help you get AtoM 2x installed using CentOS 6, instead of Ubuntu 12.04/14.04, as documented by Artefactual. Titled "Step by Step Tutorial: Install Atom (ICA-AtOM) 2.0 in a CentOS 6.5 x86-x64 over VirtualBox", the tutorial is kept in a publicly-viewable Google Doc at the moment, available here.

ICA-AtoM (1.x) Finding Aid Style Guide - Dumbarton Oaks
In June 2014, The Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA) of Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection announced the release of its AtoM Finding Aid Style Guide. "Developed by ICFA staff to document local practices for internal reference and training, the Guide addresses all aspects of description: from collection-level details such as creation and acquisition information to providing file-specific storage locations. In addition, there are sections on developing an intellectual arrangement and devising titles for each record group in a collection.
"In advance of the department’s conversion of their legacy finding aids, ICFA staff also produced a workflow to help guide staff to the system. The Workflow provides step-by-step instructions on how to develop new collections in ICA-AtoM based on existing Word finding aids, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the Guide, a more comprehensive reference resource for description."
