Contributing to the Hub

We have a Contributor Console that provides everything you need to be a contributor. Our cataloguing tool, the  EAD Editor is included in the Console. You can also consider exporting from your own system.

We have a periodic newletter for contributors.

Your descriptions can be harvested by the Archives Portal Europe if you are happy to sign their Metadata Exchange Agreement.

You may like to add the Hub logo to your website.

Why contribute?

Adding your descriptions to the Hub gives you a whole range of benefits.
