From Jessica.Crouch at lyrasis.org Fri Apr 1 09:25:03 2022 From: Jessica.Crouch at lyrasis.org (Jessica Crouch) Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2022 13:25:03 +0000 Subject: [Archivesspace_uac] Deadline extended: Community contribution in the ArchivesSpace Inclusive Examples Project requested by April 1 In-Reply-To: References: <1326FC44-9595-456A-A668-3C4B285CF1EB@lyrasis.org> Message-ID: Dear ArchivesSpace Users, The deadline for participation in the ArchivesSpace Inclusive Examples Project has been extended until the end of day today, April 1, 2022. We are particularly interested in receiving examples of the record types indicated with an asterisk in the list below. In the wake of the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor murders, and in the spirit of protest that followed, the ArchivesSpace community began a conversation about what it could do to promote diversity and inclusion while combating systemic racism in our field. That continuing conversation has led to a series of initiatives that we will undertake in the coming years, including an Inclusive Examples project. For this important project, ArchivesSpace is delighted to be working with Brittany Newberry of Georgia State University to update the examples provided in its workshop materials and test databases. We want the examples to be more representative of the diverse institutions that use ArchivesSpace. We are interested in adding examples from the ArchivesSpace user community. Below is a list of record types and collection types for which we are looking. In addition, we have created an agreement to provide information and expectations for how the data shared will be used. If you are interested in participating, please email a signed agreement and the records you'd like to share in one of the formats listed. Email ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org by Friday, April 1 and we will forward your submission to Brittany Newberry for review. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. Possible Examples: Types of Records: * Resource records (EAD, MarcXML, CSV, Excel spreadsheet) * Accessions (MarcXML, Excel spreadsheet, CSV) * * Digital Objects (CSV, Excel Spreadsheet) * Subjects and Agents (MarcXML, Excel spreadsheet, CSV, EAC-CPF) Types of Institutions/Collections * Academic/University records * * Corporate/Business archives * * Government * Religious * * Non-profit/community * Minority-serving * Museum * Public Library * Historical Society * BIPOC * LGBTQ+ * Music/arts * Data should be in a format that can easily be ingested into ArchivesSpace. Templates are available for the record types where CSV or spreadsheet formats are indicated. Please contact ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org if you have questions about how to prepare your data.

While the idea of the Technical Advisory Council may sound a bit intimidating at first, membership in TAC is typically more focused on the experiences/workflows/needs/interests each member brings to the group rather than their technical abilities. At their core, TAC subteams focus on maintaining documentation, guided software testing, and reviewing enhancements. It's in these areas that your experience with ArchivesSpace can be invaluable. TAC's current activities include: * Reviewing user-submitted enhancements and priorities for the application, in collaboration with the User Advisory Council. (Development Prioritization) * Conducting user-centered testing of the application prior to releases, in collaboration with the User Advisory Council. (Testing) * Documenting the metadata standards used by ArchivesSpace and monitoring the standards landscape. (Metadata Standards) * Identifying integration points for ArchivesSpace with other systems (e.g. digital asset management systems, patron and request management systems, etc.) and creating resources to assist the community with integration work. (Integrations) * Maintaining and updating technical documentation, including documentation of the API. (Technical Documentation) * Providing support and resources to help develop a community of code committers. Nominees should preferably be presently employed at an ArchivesSpace member institution (please refer to the member list at: http://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace/) or employees of a current Registered Service Provider (see: http://archivesspace.org/registered-service-providers/current-rsps/).

The Member Match program is an initiative to engage the ArchivesSpace membership community, created and organized by the Member Engagement sub-team of the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council, with support from the ArchivesSpace Community Engagement Coordinator. The program is intended to be a resource and venue for peer-to-peer support between ArchivesSpace members. For one, year-long term, participants will be matched with a member with whom they can receive and offer professional insight, advice, and camaraderie. The program will also offer participants the opportunity to engage in exclusive events and enlightening discussions about ArchivesSpace and its active user community. Thanks to valuable feedback from the first cohort of Member Match Participants, we?ve implemented the following updates to the program: * Monthly Listserv Discussion Topics * Each month, a member of the Member Engagement sub-team will reach out to the Member Match listserv to spur discussion and encourage continued engagement between matches. * Quarterly Member Match Meet-Ups * These will be opportunities for large group socializing as well as the potential for dedicated time to spend with matches in breakout rooms. * Option to participate in small group matches of 3 people Eligibility Any individual affiliated with an ArchivesSpace member organization is eligible to participate in the ArchivesSpace Member Match program and there is no limit to the number of individuals from a member organization that may participate. If you are unsure of your organization?s ArchivesSpace membership status, visit https://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace or email ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org.

You can find it here or linked through the agenda. If you have a free moment, please review this ahead of the discussion. If you would like, feel free to make a suggestion or comment on the document. Our vision for this document is for it to be a short and sweet one-page flyer that can help the ArchivesSpace user community understand and communicate the value of ArchivesSpace membership. So we have come up with three main arguments, each with a prospective audience, and a headline and blurb that provides information in support of that argument. We really want to hear your thoughts on the content and format of the document. Are we missing anything? Could you see this being an effective tool for advocacy? We have some very preliminary ideas for formatting, design, and distribution, but we would love to hear your ideas as well. Thanks in advance for your help with this. See you next week.

Originally scheduled for February 9th, this 90 minute learning opportunity has been postponed to May 24, 2022, at 2:00pm ET/11:00am PT. If you?ve already registered for this webinar, your registration has been transferred to this new date. If you need to cancel your registration, you can do so using the connection information provided via Zoom. Date: May 24, 2022 Time: 2:00pm ? 3:30pm ET (11:00am ? 12:30pm PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_e777kyjtQ6qjBMWeiiTWmg This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Webinar description: The recent expansion of the agents module in ArchivesSpace greatly expanded the application?s support for the metadata standard Encoded Archival Context ? Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF) and the potential for exchanging these records with other systems, including Social Networks and Archival Context (SNAC). Taking full advantage of this potential requires some work on the record creator?s part as ArchivesSpace?s requirements for creating agent records remain minimal. This learning opportunity will demonstrate how to create valid EAC-CPF records using ArchivesSpace and offer some tips and tricks for making the process easier within your repository. An open discussion and Q&A will follow. This learning opportunity introduces EAC-CPF in the context of ArchivesSpace but is not intended to be a full overview of the standard. Resources for learning more about EAC-CPF include: * Encoded Archival Standards: A Primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYWQeBRnhz0 * EAC-CPF Community and Support page: https://eac.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/community-and-mailinglist/ * EAC-CPF Tag Library: https://eac.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/schemata-and-tag-library/ NOTE: This learning opportunity assumes basic knowledge of ArchivesSpace, including an understanding of agent records. If you do not have this, we recommend watching the videos of the Basics workshop series, available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3cxupmXL7WiHyMc0uFmsCEIVOQmrI7FL. We will not be able to answer general questions about ArchivesSpace or specific questions about individual ArchivesSpace implementations during this session. Who should attend: Anyone interested in using ArchivesSpace to create valid EAC-CPF records.
