Managing Archival Collections

With the Archives module catalog and manage materials such as manuscripts, photographs, maps, letters, and books. Both hierarchical and item level cataloging is supported. It’s easy to import, export, and create standard MARC records. Users can also produce EAD (Encoded Archival Description) finding aids in XML format.

Hierarchical Archives

The hierarchical structure allows for both general and detailed cataloging beginning with the Collection level, to Series, then File Unit, and finally Item Level records. The relationships established within each Collection can be viewed in a hierarchical list format.
