We are looking for volunteers from member institutions of all sizes to form a working group to plan the agenda and program for our next regional forum in San Francisco, California! ArchivesSpace will hold a Regional Forum at the San Francisco Public Library in conjunction with the Western Archivists Conference on April 22, 2020. As with previous regional forums, this will be a free opportunity for staff of ArchivesSpace member institutions to meet and share information with each other and the program team. Working group volunteers are essential to the success of regional forums as they work with me to create a program that reflects local users? interests and activities.

You can download it at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.7.1-RC1 or test it out without downloading at http://test.archivesspace.org/staff (username admin /password admin). We encourage you to download and try it out with your own local setup and/or data for the most accurate results. This release candidate contains program-led and community pull requests that provide feature enhancements, bug fixes, infrastructure improvements, and documentation updates. Items of note include the ability to merge container profiles, a new select all capability on browse pages, and accessibility improvements. Thanks to the community members who made contributions to this release, including both individual archives staff and developers, as well as our Development Prioritization sub-team, Testing sub-team, and Core Committers Group. Please try this release candidate out over the next few days and let us know by Thursday, February 13, at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org if you notice any problems with the specific areas addressed in this release, or if anything that was working before no longer is. We are providing a very narrow window for testing and comments because we expect to put out another release a little later this year with additional features that are nearly ready, including merging top containers. As such, while it contains many useful improvements that we don't want to delaying putting out any longer, we expect the lifespan of v2.7.1 to be more limited than most of our releases. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks as always for your feedback and support.

Her last day will be February 19. She will be deeply missed by her fellow team members and the ArchivesSpace community. As the inaugural technical lead, Laney has been unflagging in her efforts over the last three years to build a strong infrastructure for our technical development and community engagement around development. She has shepherded over 20 releases and release candidates of ArchivesSpace since joining us in January 2017. She has reviewed and worked on thousands of pull requests, moving the ArchivesSpace application forward with each one. With her implementation of more standardized processes for code review, technical documentation, and security scanning, as part of a technical direction that helps us balance the immediate needs of the community with our long-term goals, she leaves our application in a better place than where it started. Laney's understanding that people are the most important component in building an application is especially appreciated. She has grown our developer community by cultivating relationships with individual developers and contractors. She has created opportunities for community members to contribute and improve ArchivesSpace via the Core Committers and one-on-one onboarding and mentoring. She has made our technical community bigger and more diverse. We are very thankful for all of these accomplishments, but, in the end, it is her humor, her enthusiasm, and her dedication to always doing the right thing that we so appreciate and will miss the most. LYRASIS, the Organizational Home for ArchivesSpace, will be working to fill this position so look for more information soon. In the meantime, other team and community members will be covering Laney's critical responsibilities. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions. We wish Laney well in her future endeavors and very much hope for opportunities for our paths to cross in the future as she continues out in the wider ArchivesSpace community.

Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/. Please let us know if you have any questions or need help upgrading. While we are in the process of adjusting development plans to reflect staffing changes and will be updating the roadmap accordingly, we still expect to have releases later in the year that include finished work for a number of the projects currently in progress, including merging top containers, functionality for importing from spreadsheet files, and the expanded agents module. If your resources for upgrading ArchivesSpace to new releases are limited, you may want to wait to upgrade until later in the year, when these features are available.

Upcoming Webinar: Integrating ArchivesSpace with ARKs (Archival Resource Keys) March 4, 2020, 2-3pm ET (11-noon PT; 7-8pm GMT) Visit the ArchivesSpace blog for details. ArchivesSpace is pleased to announce the sixth webinar in our series focused on Integrations with ArchivesSpace. Each webinar in this series will highlight an integration with another application used in archives that ArchivesSpace members have worked on or requested. Our sixth webinar in this series will explore how to integrate ARKs (Archival Resource Keys), persistent identifiers designed by the California Digital Library to support long-term access to information objects, into your ArchivesSpace implementation. Webinar description: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. In this webinar, John Kunze will describe the ARK design goals and current landscape. John created the ARK identifier scheme at the California Digital Library and leads the ARKs-In-The-Open initiative. With a background in computer science and math, he wrote Unix software that comes pre-installed with Mac and Linux systems, and contributed heavily to Internet standards for identifiers (URIs), archiving (BagIt, WARC), and metadata (Dublin Core). Seth Shaw will describe the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Libraries adoption of ARKs for Finding Aid persistent identifiers in 2017 and their workflow for minting them. Seth is an Application Developer for the UNLV Libraries dedicated to Special Collections and Archives. Seth was formerly the Electronic Records Archivist for Duke University and an Assistant Professor of Archival Studies at Clayton State University. Christine Di Bella, ArchivesSpace Program Manager, will conclude the webinar by demonstrating the new functionality related to implementing ARKs in ArchivesSpace that became available with ArchivesSpace v2.7.0. This functionality includes the option to use internal or external ARKs in exports or OAI-PMH harvests for resources and archival objects. Who should attend: Anyone interested in ARKs, those who are currently using ARKs within ArchivesSpace and would like to offer insight to others, and those who are interested in using the new ARKs functionality in ArchivesSpace.
