From christine.dibella at lyrasis.org Mon Aug 12 13:36:43 2019 From: christine.dibella at lyrasis.org (Christine Di Bella) Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2019 17:36:43 +0000 Subject: [Archivesspace_tac] testing for ArchivesSpace Windows installer/upgrade tool Message-ID: Hello ArchivesSpace users, Do you use Windows, either on your personal computer or for your institution's ArchivesSpace server? We are looking for people to test a new tool aimed at making installing or upgrading ArchivesSpace on Windows easier. The tool is available at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace-installer/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta. The instructions are linked from within the installer and also at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace-installer/blob/master/README.md. This tool is in beta and should only be used for a new installation or a backup of your existing installation. (Note that installing ArchivesSpace is not necessary for people just using ArchivesSpace through their browser. This installer is for installing ArchivesSpace on a server. Even if you don't manage a server, however, it may be useful if have a Windows machine and have never installed ArchivesSpace before and want to learn a little more about how to do it or want to try out different server configurations on a local copy of ArchivesSpace.) If you test this, or if you are interested in more information on how to test it, would you please contact me? We'd like to get a sense of whether it's helpful, any gaps in the tool or the instructions for how to use it, and other ideas people have for making installing or upgrading ArchivesSpace easier on Windows. Please feel free to pass this message along to anyone you think might be interested. Thanks to everyone in the community who has offered feedback about ArchivesSpace and Windows, and a big thank you to Sarah Morrissey for working on this tool.

As many smaller institutions, in particular, are locked into using Windows, we?re hoping that a tool like this can help them get up and running more easily. Once we?ve gotten this one tested and hopefully determined that it meets this need for the people we?re trying to help in this round, we?d be happy to consider expanding the scope of this project. It may very well be be possible to create other installers down the line, though we?d love to hear more about specific needs and why an installer could be useful to meet them. Like this one, any installers we create would have to be pretty basic and won?t be able to suit all needs.

You do not need to be from an institution at the Very Small or Small membership level to participate in this listserv, and those from the Very Small and Small membership levels are welcome to participate in other member listservs. The intended purpose of this listserv, however, is to serve as a forum where lone arrangers or archivists from smaller archives may communicate with each other to share techniques and strategies for using ArchivesSpace with consideration for the particular challenges that smaller institutions face. This listserv was created based on feedback received by the community in surveys and at forums, particularly the conversations had by people from the Small and Very Small member institutions at past Annual Forums. As with all ArchivesSpace member listservs, this list is open only to staff at ArchivesSpace member organizations. As such, email addresses should be registered to the institution from which the person is qualified as an ArchivesSpace member. Email addresses registered to Gmail, Hotmail, and the like will not be subscribed to the list. You can join this new listserv here: http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/mailman/listinfo/archivesspace_small_archives_users_group If you have questions about this new listserv or suggestions for additional community engagement avenues, contact Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org.

This plugin adds new properties and object relationships in the application so that PBCore structure, elements, and attributes can be better represented in ArchivesSpace. PBCore is a data model for the description of audiovisual content. The WGBH Media Library and Archives developed PBSpace and the development of PBSpace has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. The PBSpace plugin was part of the Association of Moving Image Archivists Conference?s Hack Day in 2018. Presenter: Jason Corum is a coder and artist based in Los Angeles, CA. After a 10-year career in online communications with organizations like the Biotechnology Industry Organization, the Brookings Institution, and World Food Program USA, Jason decided to build cool online tools rather than manage them. Through self-education and a backend web development course, Jason transitioned to a career in web development and is now a developer with the WGBH Media Library and Archives (https://www.wgbh.org/foundation/what-we-do/media-library-and-archives). At WGBH, Jason works on the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (http://americanarchive.org/), OpenVault from WGBH (http://openvault.wgbh.org/), Fix It + (http://fixitplus.americanarchive.org/), as well as a Samvera-based archival management system. Who should attend: Everyone interested in seeing a demonstration of newly available plugin for ArchivesSpace, in learning more about the PBCore metadata standard or with audiovisual content in their collections.

The release candidate will also have some bug fixes and small feature enhancements. Look for an announcement in September. Are you interested in helping make the ArchivesSpace application better for the community by contributing code for small bug fixes and features? Our Development Prioritization sub-team recently worked with the program team to launch a Ready for Community Developer status to make it easier to identify JIRA issues that are especially appropriate for community contributions. Development Prioritization sub-team leaders Lydia Tang and Maggie Hughes presented about it at our Annual Member Forum in Austin earlier this month: https://youtu.be/qK84vgmS66 . You can also reach out to Christine Di Bella (christine.dibella at lyrasis.org) or Laney McGlohon (laney.mcglohon at lyrasis.org) for more information about how to get involved with working on these issues. Fifth Annual Member Forum Survey and Recordings Now Available! Thank you to all who attended the 5th Annual Member Forum at the Thompson Conference Center in Austin, Texas! It was a lively event with 95 attendees and presentations from 21 individuals from ArchivesSpace member institutions and the ArchivesSpace program team. It was also our first Annual Forum with attendees from our international member community! And a special thank you to all of you who joined us after the forum for our joint reception with Archive-It. In order to make next year?s forum in Chicago even better, we hope you will take the time to complete our post forum survey. You do not have to have attended the forum in Austin to complete this survey. All recorded sessions and presentation slides are also now available on the ArchivesSpace wiki.

Jason will discuss a little about what PBCore is and who uses it, the process of developing the plugin, and demonstrate the plugin itself and how it can be used to extend description of audiovisual content in ArchivesSpace. The WGBH Media Library and Archives developed PBSpace, which has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. Development of the PBSpace plugin was part of the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) Conference?s Hack Day in 2018. Presenter: Jason Corum is a coder and artist based in Los Angeles, CA. After a 10-year career in online communications with organizations like the Biotechnology Industry Organization, the Brookings Institution, and World Food Program USA, Jason decided to build cool online tools rather than manage them. Through self-education and a backend web development course, Jason transitioned to a career in web development and is now a developer with the WGBH Media Library and Archives (https://www.wgbh.org/foundation/what-we-do/media-library-and-archives). At WGBH, Jason works on the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (http://americanarchive.org/), OpenVault from WGBH (http://openvault.wgbh.org/), Fix It + (http://fixitplus.americanarchive.org/), as well as a Samvera-based archival management system. New Listserv for Small Archives and Lone Arrangers We are pleased to announce the creation of a new ArchivesSpace member listserv dedicated to the needs and conversations of ArchivesSpace users who are lone arrangers or working at small archives. You do not need to be from an institution at the Very Small or Small membership level to participate in this listserv, and those from the Very Small and Small membership levels are welcome to participate in other member listservs. The intended purpose of this listserv, however, is to serve as a forum where lone arrangers or archivists from smaller archives may communicate with each other to share techniques and strategies for using ArchivesSpace with consideration for the particular challenges that smaller institutions face. This listserv was created based on feedback received by the community in surveys and at forums, particularly the conversations had by people from the Small and Very Small member institutions at past Annual Member Forums. As with all ArchivesSpace member listservs, this list is open only to staff at ArchivesSpace member organizations. As such, email addresses should be registered to the institution from which the person is qualified as an ArchivesSpace member. Email addresses registered to Gmail, Hotmail, and the like will not be subscribed to the list. You can join this new listserv here. Annual Report The ArchivesSpace team is pleased to share the annual report covering the 2018/2019 membership term. This digital document celebrates our community?s many activities and accomplishments during the past year and provides some information on what?s planned for the future. Thanks to all of our members for all you?ve done and do to sustain and move the application and the program forward! Windows Installer: Testers Needed! Do you use Windows, either on your personal computer or for your institution?s ArchivesSpace server? We are looking for people to test a new tool aimed at making installing or upgrading ArchivesSpace on Windows easier. The tool is available at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace-installer/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta. The instructions are linked from within the installer and also at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace-installer/blob/master/README.md. This tool is in beta and should only be used for a new installation or a backup of your existing installation. Please contact Christine (christine.dibella at lyrasis.org) with feedback. We?d like to get a sense of whether it?s helpful, any gaps in the tool or the instructions for how to use it, and other ideas people have for making installing or upgrading ArchivesSpace easier on Windows. Thanks to everyone in the community who has offered feedback about ArchivesSpace and Windows so far, and a big thank you to Sarah Morrissey for working on this tool. Want to be an ArchivesSpace Consultant? As the ArchivesSpace user community continues to grow, we occasionally hear from people wanting individualized help beyond what membership or volunteer peer-to-peer guidance can provide. Typical needs include migrating data from a legacy database, custom interface work, one-on-one user training, or deploying an ArchivesSpace server. Often these requests come from people who aren?t interested in hosting options, or can?t pursue bringing a full workshop to their regional area. To help in these kinds of situations, the ArchivesSpace program maintains an informal registry of individuals interested in providing independent consulting services related to ArchivesSpace. Please note that our involvement is for informational purposes only. Consultants and potential clients work out any details of projects and costs amongst themselves. Interested in being a consultant? If you know of someone who would like to be listed, or would like to be listed yourself, please email Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org with the following information. * Location * Services * Experience with ArchivesSpace * Best way for prospective clients to get in touch with you and/or see examples of your work Affiliation with an ArchivesSpace member institution is not required for an individual to be listed in the registry.
