CAN Collections Database Instructions
Making your collection accessible through CAN Collections
Attention CAN Partners,
We are now taking new collections for upload into the CAN Collections database.
To be included at this stage, your collection records will need to be available in one of the following formats:
1. Exported into an "Import File" with correct fields in excel from your collection management system
2. Archival records in Tabularium
3. Records in a database already available on the web, with a search function for inclusion through Opensearch.
Instructions for how to create the Import File in excel are attached.
For more information about Opensearch, please follow the links.
If you have a collection which you think is ready, and would like to include in CAN Collections, please let us know by downloading, completing and returning the registration form and sending it to CAN Project Manager Ingrid Mason.
We will contact you shortly after receiving your registration to finalise arrangements.
