Join us in a session to generate, discuss, and document use cases and begin work to develop prototypes integrating the two products. ArchivesSpace, originally funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is a next-generation archives management system and is the successor to Archivists' Toolkit and Archon. The Hydra Project is an international consortium that focuses on shared development of open-source digital repository services. The project gives like-minded institutions a mechanism to combine their individual repository development efforts into a collective solution with breadth and depth that exceeds the capacity of any individual institution to create, maintain, or enhance on its own. We'll be meeting on Monday, November 4th from 1:30pm 'til 4:30pm in Conference Room 301 at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, TX. We hope to see you there!
