Hi,

Does this Wiki page help?
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:EPrints/Apache/Template

Presumably you want to put something like this inside <body> in the
template:

<body>
<div id="ep_tm_archive_name"><epc:phrase ref="archive_name"/></div>

Which you can style with:
#ep_tm_archive_name {
font-size: 150%;
}

Note! There have been bugs in the directory scanning order in the past,
which may mean your local (archives/...) changes aren't taking effect.
Regardless, if you create a local version you must restart the Web
server for it to take effect.

The load order (or should be) is here:
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:EPrints/Repository#template_dirs
