This page has been divided first by type - archival description, or other CSV import type (as the archival description CSV templates are the most commonly used, and also the ones most subject to further development and versioning), and then in each section, by release. If the template has not changed for a version, it will '''not''' be added to the newest release section - you can simply download the link in the previous version.

At this time, we provide templates for the ISAD(G) and RAD descriptive templates in AtoM. If you are using a different content standard (e.g. DACS, DC, or MODS), we recommend using the ISAD(G) template and ignoring any fields that do not crosswalk. Information about crosswalk mappings can be found in the Data Entry / Templates section of the AtoM [https://accesstomemory.org/docs User manual.]

The AtoM 2.3 release includes CSV export functionality. During roundtrip testing, it was discovered that events which were not "creation" were not properly roundtripping (e.g. exporting and re-importing properly). Consequently, to better support users importing and exporting data about events and actors who are not creators (but might be accumulators, manufacturers, broadcasters, etc), '''major changes have been made to the 2.3 CSV template''' relating to actors and events. This means that '''2.2 and earlier CSV templates may no longer import properly'''. Please see the 2.3 CSV import documentation for further guidance.

Main Page > Resources > Resources/CSV templates

On this page you will find copies of the CSV templates we provide for use when importing data into AtoM. As the CSV files change over versions, we will add sections, so that you can be sure you are using the right template for your AtoM installation.

For more information on CSV import, see the Import/Export section of our User manual. Links directly to each major release's CSV import documentation are included in the relevant sections below.

Tip

Did you know you can also find all the CSV import templates inside AtoM? They are located in lib/task/import/example.

See Also

Migrating data to AtoM? Check out the CSV transformation page for information on transformation scripting!

Page organization

This page has been divided first by type and then by release.

If there are no changes to the CSV templates for a major release, a link or section will not be included - you can then use the templates from the previous release. Be sure to review the CSV import documentation in the AtoM User manual for your release.

Archival descriptions

Below you'll find copies of the CSV template examples for archival descriptions, organized by each major release. A change log is included so that you can quickly determine what has changed.

At this time, we provide templates for the ISAD(G) and RAD descriptive templates in AtoM. If you are using a different content standard (e.g. DACS, DC, or MODS), we recommend using the ISAD(G) template and ignoring any fields that do not crosswalk. Information about crosswalk mappings can be found in the Data Entry / Templates section of the AtoM User manual.

AtoM 2.3 CSV templates

Important

The AtoM 2.3 release includes CSV export functionality. During roundtrip testing, it was discovered that events which were not "creation" were not properly roundtripping (e.g. exporting and re-importing properly). Consequently, to better support users importing and exporting data about events and actors who are not creators (but might be accumulators, manufacturers, broadcasters, etc), major changes have been made to the 2.3 CSV template relating to actors and events. This means that 2.2 and earlier CSV templates may no longer import properly. Please see the 2.3 CSV import documentation for further guidance.

Change log

  • Changes to how Actors and events (e.g. creators, creation events, etc) are implemented to better support roundtripping of non-creation events (e.g. accumulation, broadcasting, etc)
    • creators, creatorHistories, creationDates, creationDatesStart, and creationDatesEnd columns removed
    • eventActors, eventActorHistories, eventTypes, eventDates, eventDatesStart, and eventDatesEnd columns added to replace previous columns
    • In RAD template, eventDescriptions replaces creationDateNotes, and eventPlaces has been added
  • Added new genreAccessPoints column to support genre access points - see issue #9390
  • Removed duplicate column radNoteOnPublishersSeries - see issue #9762
  • Updated the sample data for better mapping to related standards fields - see issue #10070

Templates

AtoM 2.0.0 and earlier CSV templates

The following CSV templates should work for AtoM 2.0.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2, as well as any previous ICA-AtoM release that supports CSV import.

See Also

See the 2.0 CSV import documentation here.

Templates

Authority records

In AtoM, there are 3 CSV templates for importing authority records - a primary template, as well as two optional secondary templates that can be imported at the same time (when using the command-line only) to add further forms of name (the Aliases CSV), or relationships between actors (the Relationships CSV).

These two supplementary AtoM authority record CSV templates have not changed since AtoM 2.0.0, and should work for any AtoM or ICA-AtoM release that supports CSV import. Note that currently the aliases and relationships CSV templates can only be imported via the command-line.

In the 2.4 release 2 new fields were added to the primary authority records CSV template, to support the import and export of Occupation access point data.
