Hi Shea,


I created a script to batch delete locations, which you can see here:

Delete ASpace locations
Delete ASpace locations - Gist is a simple way to share snippets of text and code with others.

It's written in Ruby and required the rest_client gem ( "gem install rest_client" to install it)


Let me know if that works for you..b,chris.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Location Records

Greetings everyone.

We just installed Archive Space at my institution this week, so I am brand new to the group, and unfortunately already in need of some basic assistance.

I just finished batch-creating "location records," and now need to delete them all due to an error on my part.   I have begun deleting them individually, but I batch-created so many, that just about any alternative to that task would be more efficient.

Currently, the only thing I have done in AS is to create the repository, and manage the user access.  Starting everything over from scratch would not be a problem.  Do I have any alternatives to individually deleting or editing all of these location records?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

-Patrick Shea
