2. OHMS Application Overview

If you are not a current Aviary organization owner, you must first create your OHMS organization. This is comparable to the “OHMS Repository” in the older version of OHMS. NOTE: This initial setup is not needed if you had a legacy OHMS repository that was migrated. https://weareavp.aviaryplatform.com/r/z892805d83 Go to the Aviary OHMS Subscription page: https://www.aviaryplatform.com/pricing#ohms-aviary-subscription Fill out the details. You must name your organization and determine the preferred prefix of your organization domain. The organization domain will be where you log in to your OHMS organization. 5. Upon submitting your OHMS organization request, you will receive an email confirming your submission. 6. When you click on “Confirm my Account” you will be prompted to set up 2-factor authentication using an authentication app such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Duo). Follow the directions for setting two-factor authentication (2FA) in accordance with your chosen authenticator app. For example, in Duo, you select the “Add” button to add a new account.

Once an organization is created, the organization owner logs into Aviary/OHMS using the assigned username and password and the 2-factor authentication. Once logged into the OHMS application, assigned users can begin to prepare oral history interview and other audio or video resources for public access. There are a few major components of the OHMS application: OHMS Collections: Record groupings into collections/series OHMS Studio: Formerly called the “Interview Manager,” this area is the central area to initiate and manage your OHMS records.
