This document summarizes a collaborative project between nine institutions to improve the EMu archival records management system. The group held regular video conferences between 2016-2017 to identify issues and propose solutions to the software developer, Axiell. They initially aimed to overhaul the system design but realized a more incremental approach was needed. The group focused on improving fields for accessioning, location tracking, cross-mapping standards, and hierarchy in finding aid exports. Their recommendations were presented to Axiell, who is evaluating feasibility as part of their product roadmap. The collaborative group continues meeting to discuss feedback on the proposed changes.
