Each webinar in this series highlights an integration with another application used in archives that ArchivesSpace members have worked on or requested. Our eighth webinar in this series will discuss integration with ArcLight. ArcLight is a community-based effort to build an open source Blacklight-based environment to support discovery and delivery of archival material, led by Stanford Libraries. When: May 12, 2020 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? noon PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_q5w25dN_QUyiXkqM5UPaGA 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. Webinar description: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. In this webinar, Mark A. Matienzo, Assistant Director for Digital Strategy and Access at the Stanford University Libraries, will provide background on the ArcLight project, its features, and how it aligns with and is distinctive from ArchivesSpace. Since 2015, the ArcLight project has had an extensive design phase and two software development work cycles, with contributions from over 40 people and over 9 institutions. In their position at Stanford, Mark manages the digital library discovery, access, and delivery portfolio and a team of software engineers and user experience designers. Prior to joining Stanford, Mark worked as an archivist, technologist, and strategist specializing in born-digital materials and metadata management, at institutions including the Digital Public Library of America, Yale University Library, The New York Public Library, and the American Institute of Physics. After, Gregory Wiedeman, University Archivist in the M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections & Archives at the University at Albany, SUNY, will discuss UAlbany?s integration of ArchivesSpace and ArcLight. UAlbany implemented ArcLight in March 2019 to provide access to archival description. This instance relies on integrations with ArchivesSpace for creating and managing description, and Hyrax for providing access to digital objects. Greg will overview why UAlbany chose this direction before briefly diving into the details on how UAlbany?s integration works. Finally, he will discuss what is working well with these systems and what still needs improvement. In his position at UAlbany, Greg helps ensure long-term access to the school?s public records. He oversees collecting, processing, and reference for the University Archives and supports the implementation and development of the department?s archival systems. Who should attend: Anyone interested in learning more about ArcLight, integrating ArcLight and ArchivesSpace or who has already integrated the two systems Questions? Contact Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org if you have questions about this webinar or the Integrations with ArchivesSpace webinar series. The next Integrations with ArchivesSpace webinar will be: Integrating ArchivesSpace with Islandora and Drupal at University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries, July 15, 2020, at 2pm ET (11am PT).

Miloche Kottman and Marcella Huggard of the University of Kansas Libraries will discuss projects they have created for staff in the Cataloging and Archival Processing Department to work on while sheltering in place at home. These cleanup projects, which were often lower priority before the COVID-19 pandemic sent everyone home, include fixing subject and agent records; creating MARC records for legacy manuscript collections; consolidating resource records that were separated; converting pdfs to be archival object inventories in ArchivesSpace; and creating resource records for legacy processed collections. Miloche and Marcella will discuss database queries to cull the necessary data and workflows for managing these projects. Webinar presenters: Marcella Huggard is the manuscripts processing coordinator at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, part of the University of Kansas Libraries. She oversees arrangement and description and processing for all of Spencer?s manuscript collections and has been with KU since 2015. Miloche Kottman is the Head of Cataloging & Archival Processing. In addition to overseeing a staff of 28 full-time members, she is the system administrator for Voyager, Aeon and ArchivesSpace. Currently she has two new co-workers who kindly allow her to sit in front of their window to work as long as she doesn?t mind them interrupting when a rabbit bounces by (Tigger and Dash, the cats). She received her MLIS from University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee. Who should attend: While this webinar will focus on projects that can be undertaken in a work from home environment, this webinar will be useful to any archivist focusing on data cleanup in ArchivesSpace, those needing to export data out of ArchivesSpace and archivists working with legacy data.

New features for the next release include merging top containers, importing archival objects from spreadsheets, additional browse and search preferences for the staff interface, additional information in the background jobs area, and some small improvements to search for the public interface, among others. It will also have some accessibility improvements, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Membership Renewals ArchivesSpace is developed by and for the community that uses it, and strengthened by services and activities that support our community and connect us to one another. As we get close to the end of another membership year, we want to give a special thanks to all of the institutions that have joined us as members. ArchivesSpace membership is our primary source of revenue and informs and sustains every aspect of the program, including software development, support and engagement. Thanks for all that your support makes possible. ArchivesSpace membership renewals have been sent to all current members for 2020/2021. If you have any questions or if you have not received your invoice, please let us know. We look forward to another year working together. The ArchivesSpace Annual Member Forum is going virtual! As you may have heard, the Society of American Archivists (SAA) annual conference will be virtual this year. This means the Annual Member Forum we hold in conjunction with SAA will also be offered virtually. The Annual Member Forum is a chance each year for ArchivesSpace members to come together to highlight the work they are doing in ArchivesSpace, show off new plugins or tools they?ve developed and attend workshops and trainings on a variety of topics. Our goal is to offer similar content and opportunities to come together in a virtual environment this year. We are still waiting to learn more about SAA?s plans for their virtual conference, but we ask that you hold the dates of August 3-8. Thank you for attending the Second Annual ArchivesSpace Online Forum Thank you to the planning team, presenters and everyone who attended the Second Annual ArchivesSpace Online forum! We were delighted to have over 500 individuals representing 15 different countries and 43 U.S. states register for some part of the event. If you attended any part of the Online Forum, please take a few minutes to fill out this evaluation to let us know what you liked and what we can do to improve future online events. Recordings, presentation slides and notes for each session are now included in the program on the forum wiki. Upcoming Webinar: Someday is Here! ArchivesSpace Projects for Working from Home ArchivesSpace will be offering another webinar focusing on ArchivesSpace data cleanup projects that can be accomplished in a work from home environment on Wednesday, June 3, at 2pm ET. Most of us are doing our jobs under much different conditions than usual. As a browser-based system you can access from anywhere, ArchivesSpace is a tool that can be used when working remotely and many ArchivesSpace users are finding themselves executing large scale data cleanup projects that have only recently been prioritized. Title: Someday is Here! ArchivesSpace Projects for Working from Home When: June 3, 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_z7JsXKv3RJCBN1wvcKWXdA 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. Webinar description: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Miloche Kottman and Marcella Huggard of the University of Kansas Libraries will discuss projects they have created for staff in the Cataloging and Archival Processing Department to work on while sheltering in place at home. These cleanup projects, which were often lower priority before the COVID-19 pandemic sent everyone home, include fixing subject and agent records; creating MARC records for legacy manuscript collections; consolidating resource records that were separated; converting pdfs to be archival object inventories in ArchivesSpace; and creating resource records for legacy processed collections. Miloche and Marcella will discuss database queries to cull the necessary data and workflows for managing these projects. Webinar presenters: Marcella Huggard is the manuscripts processing coordinator at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, part of the University of Kansas Libraries. She oversees arrangement and description and processing for all of Spencer?s manuscript collections and has been with KU since 2015. Miloche Kottman is the Head of Cataloging & Archival Processing. In addition to overseeing a staff of 28 full-time members, she is the system administrator for Voyager, Aeon and ArchivesSpace. Currently she has two new co-workers who kindly allow her to sit in front of their window to work as long as she doesn?t mind them interrupting when a rabbit bounces by (Tigger and Dash, the cats). She received her MLIS from University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee. The recordings for last month?s webinars, Integrating ArchivesSpace and ArcLight and ArchivesSpace Data Cleanup: Tips, Tricks and Tools, are now available on YouTube. Take a Break with ArchivesSpace Whether working from home for the first time, as remote working pros, or as onsite staff, most of us are doing our jobs under much different conditions than usual. As a browser based system you can access from anywhere, the ArchivesSpace application may offer a sense of archival normalcy as we each adjust. And with a welcoming and robust member community all over the world, ArchivesSpace can also offer camaraderie when many of us may feel isolated from our colleagues or the professional communities we interact with regularly. We will continue hosting our casual open calls via zoom at 12pm ET each Friday. We won?t be developing agendas or presentations for these calls. We just want to provide a forum and an opportunity to connect, chat and recharge. Use this as a time to get help or talk about ArchivesSpace or anything else in an informal setting or just have a beverage with other ArchivesSpace users during this stressful time. When: Fridays Time: 12:00 p.m. ? 1:00 p.m. ET (9:00 a.m. ? 10:00 a.m. PT) Where: Visit our blog for connection information We seek to provide a welcoming, fun, and safe community experience for everyone and adhere to Code4Lib?s CodeofConduct4Lib.
