Planned for March 2021, this event will build on the success of the 2020 Online Forum, which had over 500 registrants, participating from 15 different countries. We would love this event to highlight the work institutions near and far are doing to integrate ArchivesSpace into their systems and workflows, especially as they?ve adapted to working from home throughout the past year. We expect to offer a variety of activities aimed at building community connections and contacts among our users. All ideas are welcome! All community members are welcome to volunteer for this working group. We especially encourage our Small and Very Small members as well as non-U.S. members to join in envisioning the next iteration of this event. We will schedule meetings and the forum itself in ways that allow for participation across time zones. If you would like to volunteer, please respond by December 15, 2020. And if you have any questions, contact Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org.

URL: From zmijewski at industrialarchives.org Mon Dec 14 10:58:50 2020 From: zmijewski at industrialarchives.org (Nicholas Zmijewski) Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 15:58:50 +0000 Subject: [Archivesspace_uac] ArchivesSpace 2nd Quarter Board Update Message-ID: Dear ArchivesSpace members, I am writing to report on the ArchivesSpace Governance Board 2nd Quarter meeting, a call that was held December 1, 2020. We reviewed the ongoing work of the Technical Advisory Council and the User Advisory Council. We would like to thank the members of these councils for their incredible contributions. It is good to see these councils continue to evolve and strengthen in terms of structure and interaction with each other. The operations report highlighted many program activities and the active participation by the community, even in the face of the challenging circumstances of the past year. A version of the training usually offered in person has been converted to an online model during the pandemic, with positive results. This has proven a nimble way to continue to support the community's needs. The financial reports show that the program's financial position continues to be strong. The board continues to discuss DEIA initiatives in general as well as specific ways to make ArchivesSpace more diverse and inclusive. The board was pleased to tentatively approve a proposal for a new ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership program. This pilot program will engage wide community participation to provide assistance with ArchivesSpace implementations for a small number of institutions serving underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. More details on this program will be announced soon. The board approved small updates to the bylaws to reflect the upcoming change in the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)'s partner status. The updated bylaws will be effective July 1, 2021. The board members discussed ways to increase the board's effectiveness, including creating position descriptions for board members, the Chair, and the Vice Chair. We hope this will also be helpful in the Nominations process to clarify the role of board members and encourage wider participation. In closing, I am very happy to report that the ArchivesSpace membership organization continues to be vital and growing, with members making contributions to all facets of the program. As always, the Board welcomes your feedback. Feel free to reach out directly to me or to your elected representative. Respectfully, Nick Zmijewski Chair ArchivesSpace Governance Board -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

December 2020 Development With the end of the work year fast approaching, we need a little more time to finish up work for the next release candidate. We now anticipate that it will come out in January. You can learn more about the agents changes that will be the focus of the release and how to check them out in the linked document and in the webinar described below. Webinar Announcement: An Introduction to ArchivesSpace v3.0 and the Expanded Agents Module ArchivesSpace will be offering a webinar focusing on the upcoming ArchivesSpace v3.0 release and the expanded agent module functionality that is the exclusive focus of this update. While the required fields to create a valid agent record will remain minimal, the expanded agents functionality will allow for greater compliance with metadata standards used to describe persons, families, and corporate entities like MARCXML authority and EAC-CPF, facilitate better exchange with databases like LCNAF and SNAC and support better contextualization of agents by providing more ways to apply controlled access headings or information about the agent and their relationships. When: January 13, 2020 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? 12:00pm PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Esz2CPatRWmDlRNqMeWlIA In order to provide a secure webinar experience and ensure adequate space in our Zoom environment, registration is now required for our webinars. Our webinars continue to be free and open to anyone using or interested in ArchivesSpace. This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Webinar description: In this webinar, ArchivesSpace community members will provide background information and context on the necessity of the new agents functionality made available in ArchivesSpace v3.0. They will also discuss the benefits of the expanded agents module and why an institution may want to implement the new fields and sub-records. After, ArchivesSpace Program Manager, Christine Di Bella will provide a demo of the new agents module with a Q&A to follow. Who should attend: Anyone currently using or considering using the ArchivesSpace agents module, those looking to better integrate ArchivesSpace with SNAC and LCNAF and those looking to better comply with metadata standards used to describe agents. ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership Pilot Program The ArchivesSpace Governance Board has approved a pilot program titled the ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership, which will engage wide community participation in providing assistance with ArchivesSpace implementations for a small number of institutions primarily serving underrepresented racial and ethnic groups such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), tribal archives, and community archives. The proposal incorporated ideas from the community from a series of discussions and feedback opportunities we offered beginning last summer and was the result of the efforts of a small planning team comprised of ArchivesSpace community and program team members. This program is part of a larger effort to make ArchivesSpace more diverse and inclusive. More details on this program will be announced in January.
