Members are encouraged to review current community-submitted feature requests for the digital objects module on the ArchivesSpace JIRA<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/jira/dashboards/10000> prior to the discussion.  If you are unable to locate a current feature request that represents your use case, you are encouraged to submit a feature request<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/19202060/How+to+Request+a+New+Feature> following these instructions.

Members are also encouraged to review the digital objects section<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ArchivesSpaceUserManual/pages/890142831/Managing+Digital+Objects> of the ArchivesSpace user manual<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/917045261/ArchivesSpace+Help+Center> in anticipation of this discussion.

This discussion is open to ArchivesSpace members only and registration is required. Attendees must register using an email address affiliated with a member organization.  This is in recognition of the crucial role that ArchivesSpace members play in directly financially supporting the sustainability and development of the application. Having input in large development projects and discussions like this one is one of the member benefits<https://archivesspace.org/community/member-benefits> of ArchivesSpace.

In preparation for this discussion about the digital objects module, we are gathering some information about how people are currently using digital objects and ideas for the future. All members with an interest in digital objects are welcome to respond to this survey, even if they won't be attending the discussion.
