This section of the wiki includes a list of AtoM-related community resources, beyond just what we maintain in our [https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs public documentation] - and much of it generated by members of our community! We've organized the content into sections to try to make it easier to browse.
 
 
==AtoM 2 resources==
 
 
 
===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 [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hjaFgINPWKhUYNtWrRHcxySiDsEBejTUGMfckjkStI4/edit?usp=sharing here].
 
 
 
Originally shared in [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ica-atom-users/wcn4LWePRW0/2tNZz-d0PW8J this] AtoM User Forum thread - if you find any problems, or have any suggestions for improvement, we suggest posting them there!

===Dumbarton Oaks===
 
 
 
In June 2014, [http://www.doaks.org/library-archives/icfa 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."

===Council of Archives New Brunswick (CANB) AtoM materials (AtoM 2.0)===
 
 
 
The Council of Archives New Brunswick has publicly shared training materials prepared for their members institutions to use ArchivesCANB, the AtoM 2-powered provincial portal administered by CANB. Materials available include a PowerPoint presentation for training on basic actions in AtoM; an AtoM "Cheat sheet" of recommended fields for users entering data into CANB, and a guide to the creation of controlled subject headings, based on a similar guide produced by MemoryBC (the provincical AtoM portal in British Columbia, Canada, maintained by the Archives Association of British Columbia).

===University of Witwatersrand, South Africa 3-Day AtoM 2.0 Workshop===
 
 
 
In October 2013, a 3-Day AtoM workshop was conducted in Johannesburg, South Africa.
 
 
 
Hosted by the University of Witwatersrand and organized by Michele Pickover and Gabriele Mohale, the 3-day workshop had over 30 participants from 16 different institutions, including the University of Namibia, Desmond Tutu Peace Centre, and the National Archives. The workshop was aimed at introducing and exploring AtoM 2.0 as a multi-lingual open-source application for online archival description and arrangement in single and multi-institutional portals. Training on AtoM was provided for all participants and addressed the features and functions of the software for public users, archivists and administrators. The workshop materials were created using copies of archival records held by organizations all over Ontario, which were generously supplied by the Archives Association of Ontario. The archival records are available through [http://www.archeion.ca/| ARCHEION]. ''You are free to use the manuals for your own purposes.''

===CARBICA Tutorial (ICA-AtoM 1.1)===
+
This page includes examples of community generated documentation - style guides, install instructions, institutional descriptive policies for AtoM use, and more.
In August 2011 a two-day training workshop on ICA-AtoM 1.1 was presented in Curaçao and attended by members of the ICA's Caribbean section (CARBICA). In preparation for the workshop a demo version of ICA-AtoM was created using copies of archival records held by the Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC) at the University of British Columbia Library. To encourage learning and support new users in their discovery of ICA-AtoM open-source software for archival description, a CARBICA training manual with 10 tutorials was created. The tutorials in the booklet allow users to interact with the data in the CARBICA demo version of ICA-AtoM.

During data entry into ICA-AtoM, if you encounter a white screen after clicking the EDIT button:
