Collection-level information, also known as project metadata, should be supplied for each deposited collection.

For Ingest and  ADS-easy deposits this information is collected via the online forms within the systems.

For deposits not utilising one of our online deposit systems, collection-level metadata should be supplied to the ADS in the templates below. An example of a completed collection-level metadata template is also provided below.
