authority records and information about their archives in MemoryBC for the public to use.
Much of the information put into MemoryBC is transferred to ArchivesCanada.ca, the
national archives portal.
MemoryBC uses AtoM (Access to Memory), a web-based software application for
standards-based archival description, authority records and institutional profiles in a multilingual, multi-repository environment. It is designed to support descriptions based on the
Canadian Rules for Archival Description (RAD) and authority records based on the ICA’s
International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and
Families (ISAAR). MemoryBC allows you to describe your archival holdings in context, so
you will link your description to a creator and your archival institution, resulting in a
complete account of what the records are, who created them and what institution holds
them.<span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit"> </span></font></div></div><div><span style="color:rgb(54,54,54);font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0px;padding:0px"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div></div><div> <br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Lisa Glandt, MAS</div><div>Education and Advisory Services (EAS) Coordinator</div><div>Archives Association of British Columbia</div><div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:aabc.advisor@aabc.ca" target="_blank"><font size="2">aabc.advisor@aabc.ca</font></a></div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><br></div></div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span></span><span></span><br></font></div><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><br></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
