Brief Abstract

The American Congress Digital Archives Portal project aims to provide a single point of access to underutilized congressional archives from multiple institutions. Metadata harvesting workflows differ depending on participants’ choice of DAMS, however, presenting challenges for future scaling. In this working session, project partners will demonstrate workflows and solicit feedback.
