Here we will link some examples of AtoM customization by community members which can be achieved without developer support. Have a resource to add, or one that you know about which is publicly available? Please help us by adding it!

Help pages

Beaton Institutite Project guides (AtoM 2.1)

The Beaton Institute at Cape Breton University has used a creative mix of static pages and subject terms to create beautiful user guides to their holdings. See some examples below:

Mills Archive help pages (AtoM 2.1)

The Mills Archive AtoM site includes a number of inter-linked static pages, created to help users understand how to use the catalogue. Here are some direct links to some examples:

City of Vancouver Archives search help (AtoM 2.1)

The City of Vancouver Archives created an About Searching page using the static page functionality in AtoM. For details on creating new static pages see our documentation for your current version; specifically see Manage Static Pages and Manage Menus.

MemoryNS (AtoM 2.1)

MemoryNS, the Nova Scotian archival union catalogue maintained by the Council of Nova Scotia Archives (CNSA), has created a number of video tutorials on searching, browsing, and much more, and included the playlist of videos in a static page in their AtoM instance. Check it out here:

Dumbarton Oaks' AtoM@DO Help/About page (ICA-AtoM 1.3)

Rich with both general information and details on how to perform basic public user functions in ICA-AtoM (such as using search, advanced search, printing file reports, exporting, etc.) the AtoM@DO Help page is a useful resource, and a good model for how institutions using AtoM can supply helpful information to support the needs of their users.

Institution pages

Guelph Public Library Archeion page

Guelph Public Library has done extensive customizations to their Archeion (union database for the Archives Association of Ontario). For details on editing an institutional page see our documentation for your current version, particularly Archival Institutions.
