In his current position at Penn State University Libraries, Kevin is the product owner for the cultural heritage digital repository, gathering functional requirements from end users and developing strategies with collection managers to ensure the repository is meeting the needs of faculty, students, and researchers. Prior to this he was the ArchivesSpace product owner at the University of Denver, where he did similar things with different types of content. In both roles he worked to facilitate moving data between library and archival management applications, to reduce the pain and suffering of technical services workers and improve the user experience for researchers. Adrien Hilton, Head of the Manuscript Section at Harvard University's Houghton Library, will discuss current workflows at Harvard for managing data in both Alma and ArchivesSpace and what she needs from an integration. Adrien will outline the preliminary work she?s done to gather use cases from other repositories. She hopes to build community support for future Alma/ArchivesSpace development work. In her position at Harvard, Adrien oversees archives processing and manuscript cataloging. Prior to coming to Houghton, Adrien held positions at Columbia University's Rare Book and Manuscript Library and New York University's Tamiment Library. Adrien is an advisory member of SAA's Technical Subcommittee on Describing Archives: A Content Standard. Who should attend: Anyone interested in integrating ArchivesSpace and Alma. This webinar will highlight the work already being done by the ArchivesSpace community on this integration with the goal of identifying other stakeholders and a path forward to make this integration more streamlined and robust.

This is just a reminder that we have our next User Advisory Council meeting scheduled for next week on 3/23 at 12 ET/11 CT/10 MT/9 PT. Agenda stub: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AC/pages/1043529791/2020-03-23+Meeting+notes Subteam leaders, could you please fill in your subteam updates? Things of note: 1. There is an idea to create a new subteam in the next FY on User Engagement. Jessica Crouch is planning to discuss this. If you are interested in participating the a planning committee to launch this subteam, please reach out to UAC vice chair, Brittany Newberry bnewberry at auctr.edu 2. Brittany and I would like to float the idea of meeting once a month, flipping the emphasis of the meeting to Council discussion and planning and deemphasizing the subteam updates. The meetings would still aim to be as focused and condensed as possible (under an hour each time). We?d look forward to hearing your feedback on this idea. With all of this said, we are going through unprecedented times. My institution is encouraging staff to work from home and my kids? day care has closed through the end of the month, and I?m sure that many of you are going through similar upheavals. Unless I hear otherwise, I?m planning to hold the meeting, but I will definitely understand if you won?t be able to attend. If you all think we should table the meeting for next month/some other time, please let me know! Stay healthy! Lydia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To that end, the ArchivesSpace Western Archivists Regional Forum scheduled for April 22, 2020, at the San Francisco Public Library will be cancelled. While we are disappointed we will not be able to hold this forum, we hope to be able to bring a forum that reflects local users? interests and activities to this region in the future. We would like to thank the San Francisco Public Library for their willingness to host this event and their understanding during this difficult time. I would also like to personally thank the members of the Western Archivists Regional Forum planning team: Nancy Enneking of The Getty Center, Katherine Ets-Hokin of the San Francisco Public Library and Katie Rudolph from the Denver Public Library. I am grateful for the work this team has already done behind the scenes to develop what would have been an outstanding community-driven forum. I would also like to thank all of you who have already reached out to volunteer to participate in the forum or expressed your intent to attend. We have a wonderful member community and I was looking forward to spending the day with all of you. We encourage all ArchivesSpace users to join us for our Online Forum on May 18-21. During a time when the status of many conferences is in flux and travel is inadvisable, we hope this Online Forum will offer an even better opportunity than usual for ArchivesSpace users to meet and share information with each other and the ArchivesSpace program team. Visit the Online Forum wiki to learn more about this event. If you would like to participate in the Online Forum, we are accepting both session proposals and ideas for topics via this online form. We will be sharing more information soon about ideas related to engaging with ArchivesSpace during this difficult time. If you have any questions or concerns, please don?t hesitate to contact the ArchivesSpace program team at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org.

Challenging times often bring out the best in us and I hope that these times are bringing out the best in you. Recently Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shared a message of hope with the world. Several lines in his short message (available here) resonated with me and I wanted to share them with you. He said "These unique challenges will pass in due time. I remain optimistic for the future....look for opportunities to help those around you near and far. We have the great privilege of ministering to our neighbors wherever they live." The ArchivesSpace program team and Governance Board are here to support you through these difficult times. We will get through this and we will be stronger for it. Below please see a report on the 3rd quarter ArchivesSpace Governance Board meeting Gordon Daines Chair, ArchivesSpace Governance Board I am writing to report on the ArchivesSpace Governance Board 3rd Quarter meeting. While the meeting was originally scheduled to be held in person in Chicago, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, it was conducted remotely on March 12th. We reviewed the continued excellent work of the Technical and User Advisory Councils and thank the members for their dedicated participation. The operations update highlighted how the ArchivesSpace staff and software are well positioned to support the community given the recent COVID-19 outbreak. ArchivesSpace can be accessed remotely and members can rely on it for continuing collections work while working from home. The new Help Center, updated manual and training videos are all available to assist the community. In addition, plans for the Online Forum continue, which will also enable community members to continue to connect with each other. The staff will continue to explore ways to support the community in this challenging time. The operations report also spotlighted various technical activities, including work to support accessibility. Nominating Committee Chair John Wilkin reported on the committee's strong work in identifying and soliciting people interested in serving on our Councils. Board members elected Sean Quimby, Director, Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Columbia University as the Vice Chair effective July 1, 2020. Sean is the representative for the Very Large membership level. He has been on the board since April 2019. He will become the ArchivesSpace Governance Board Chair in July 2021. The board approved an Affiliates program, a new category of affiliation for select membership and technology organizations that seek a more formal relationship with ArchivesSpace. For an annual fee, Affiliates will receive benefits such as a listing on the ArchivesSpace website, permission to use the ArchivesSpace logo, and eligibility to attend ArchivesSpace in-person events. The program will launch on a limited basis later this year. The board also reviewed the results from a recent It Takes a Village Sustainability Assessment for ArchivesSpace and discussed recommendations to enhance sustainability around several facets, including ways to enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in governance and ways to expand the Educational Program membership category. The board discussed the recent Strategic Community Discussion held to gather member feedback on strategic directions. Board members were pleased about the high level of participation in the discussion and agreed to continue hosting these discussions in the future. I am very happy to report that the ArchivesSpace membership organization continues to grow at a steady rate. We reviewed the strong budget reports and approved a FY20-21 budget focused on continued growth and development. The Board extends thanks to all of you for your continuing support and ongoing contributions to the community we have all created. We welcome your communications and comments at any time. _______________________________________ J.

If any Council sub-teams have to postpone meetings or ongoing projects due to the impact of COVID-19 for any reason, please don't worry about it. We completely understand. Please make any adjustments as needed. If there's anything you need as a Council member or sub-team leader, please let us know and we'll try to help however we can. If you're on leave from your institution or can't make meetings as scheduled, please don't hesitate to let us and your sub-team leaders know. And one brief update: During our joint TAC/UAC meeting in February, the topic of centralized storage for sub-teams came up. Christine is looking into implementing Google Drives for the Councils and sub-teams to complement our Confluence wiki spaces (which we will continue to use). If you have any concerns about using Google Drive for sub-team document storage, please let us know! If it turns out that Google Drive doesn't suit our needs, we can investigate other options. We hope to have a solution up and running before the end of this term in June.

ArchivesSpace is pleased to announce the seventh webinar in our series focused on Integrations with ArchivesSpace. This webinar will explore current work being done by the ArchivesSpace community to integrate ArchivesSpace with cloud-based library services platform, Alma. Webinar description: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Kevin Clair, Digital Collections Librarian at Penn State University Libraries, will discuss the ArchivesSpace/Alma Integration Plugin he developed during his time at University of Denver. In his current position at Penn State University Libraries, Kevin is the product owner for the cultural heritage digital repository, gathering functional requirements from end users and developing strategies with collection managers to ensure the repository is meeting the needs of faculty, students, and researchers. Prior to this he was the ArchivesSpace product owner at the University of Denver, where he did similar things with different types of content. In both roles he worked to facilitate moving data between library and archival management applications, to reduce the pain and suffering of technical services workers and improve the user experience for researchers. Adrien Hilton, Head of the Manuscript Section at Harvard University?s Houghton Library, will discuss current workflows at Harvard for managing data in both Alma and ArchivesSpace and what she needs from an integration. Adrien will outline the preliminary work she?s done to gather use cases from other repositories. She hopes to build community support for future Alma/ArchivesSpace development work. In her position at Harvard, Adrien oversees archives processing and manuscript cataloging. Prior to coming to Houghton, Adrien held positions at Columbia University?s Rare Book and Manuscript Library and New York University?s Tamiment Library. Adrien is an advisory member of SAA?s Technical Subcommittee on Describing Archives: A Content Standard. Who should attend: Anyone interested in integrating ArchivesSpace and Alma. This webinar will highlight the work already being done by the ArchivesSpace community on this integration with the goal of identifying other stakeholders and a path forward to make this integration more streamlined and robust. Questions? Contact Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org if you have questions about this webinar or the Integrations with ArchivesSpace webinar series. The eighth Integrations with ArchivesSpace webinar will be: Integrating ArchivesSpace and Arclight, May 12, 2020, at 2pm ET (11am PT).
