AtoM API Drupal 9 module

[Kelli Babcock]

Hi AtoM Google Group,

My colleagues at U of T Libraries[1] made an AtoM>Drupal feed module last year: https://github.com/utlib/drupal_atom 

It is a Drupal 9 module based on the AtoM API. The module facilitates publishing archival description once, in U of T's Discover Archives (AtoM) finding aid database, and then pulls description data into Drupal as Nodes and Taxonomies. This data can then generate a searchable collections list (A-Z) in Drupal as well as a Drupal page per top-level fonds/collections. When data in our AtoM instance is updated, or new data is added, the module fetches and updates Drupal data at a designated frequency. 

The goal of the module is to publish description data once in our AtoM instance but then reuse that data to facilitate "general user" browse/discovery of top-level descriptions on departmental websites where users may not normally encounter our AtoM instance. Our libraries/archives use Drupal for departmental websites.

You can see an example of the module in use on the U of T's Media Commons Archives Drupal website - displaying data from their AtoM descriptions. 

Sharing in case this is of interest or useful to anyone.

Take care,

Kelli
