This template can be used to cite a finding aid or other instance of archival metadata that has been freely licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 and GNU Free Documentation license.

Articles that use this template are added to the tracking category Category:Articles_that_include_text_from_freely_licensed_archival_metadata, which is a hidden category.

Usage

This template was originally created to be used with the RAMP editor, which will automatically add it to the ==Notes and references== section of an article. Although the RAMP editor will also attempt to prepopulate the values of the template's parameters, prepopulated values should always be verified against the original document.

Note that although this template adds CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL atttributions to the citation, the original text must still be appropriately released using a template such as {{Text release}} or {{RAMP release}}.

This template includes four required parameters (title, url, repository, and location) and three optional parameters (author, date, and accessdate), and it links to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 and GNU Free Documentation by default.

{{Cite open archival metadata
|author = [author of document, if listed; invert name and separate multiple authors with a semicolon and a single space]
|authors = [authors of document, if listed; invert name and separate multiple authors with a semicolon and a single space]
|title = [title of document]
|url = [URL of document]
|repository = [repository where the archival or special collection is held]
|location = [geographic location of the repository]
|date = [date document was published, if provided]
|accessdate = [date document was accessed online]
}}
