[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Describing Born-Digital Materials in ArchivesSpace

Hi All,

Thank you for all your comments and responses. It's encouraging to exchange
these shared questions and ideas arising from description and stewardship
of born-digital collections.

Unfortunately I have not made arrangements to attend SAA this year, but I
do hope an on-site gathering will take place. I'll look forward to
following some of the results of that discussion.

I'd also like to find a space to continue the conversation online after the
conference. Perhaps the listserv of SAA's Archivists' Toolkit/Archon
Roundtable (soon to be the Collection Management Tools Roundtable to
encompass ArchivesSpace and other systems) would be an appropriate forum?

http://www2.archivists.org/groups/archivists-toolkitarchon-roundtable

Safe travels to all of you who are D.C.-bound!

Best,
Kate
