From ns96 at nyu.edu Mon Nov 2 06:39:47 2015 From: ns96 at nyu.edu (Nathan Stevens) Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 06:39:47 -0500 Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] where are the boxes? In-Reply-To: References: <7d080288e54c4fae8a76d25534b9b061@it-excmb3.ad.siu.edu> <10E1CA6F-8EA8-41F9-8BAA-5A485B4B7D94@yale.edu> <2dc92f24b879489d9c8e8c2aca008173@it-excmb3.ad.siu.edu> Message-ID: The second release candidate has been posted ( https://github.com/ns96/ArchonMigrator/releases/tag/v1.0.0RC2), after testing on the uiuc dataset revealed a critical bug. P.S. As of today, I am no longer with the Archivesspace project so please direct all feedback and questions to the Archivesspace user group instead, and not me directly. That said, if there are any major issues identified I will do my best to fix them in the next week or so.

However, I'm having an issue with the resources I've hand-entered into AS since then; the component trees appear fine in the internal side, but in the public view, there is just a three-bar churning icon there. Does anyone have any advice on what needs to happen so that all of our resources' components appear in the public view? [Screenshots comparing the two (public-side view) attached.] There is nothing else missing from the internal side to the public side for the newly hand-entered records, and I have tried clicking "Publish All" to no avail. Related: Keyword searching in the internal side works perfectly for discovery of these hand-entered records. When I go to the public view, though, I will get the same search results, but when I click on any of those file records, I get the error message "We're sorry, but something went wrong." Does this mean something isn't linking correctly? I'd appreciate any advice that I can pass along to our Director of IT to fix the problem.

However, I'm having an issue with the resources I've hand-entered into AS since then; the component trees appear fine in the internal side, but in the public view, there is just a three-bar churning icon there. Does anyone have any advice on what needs to happen so that all of our resources' components appear in the public view? [Screenshots comparing the two (public-side view) attached.] There is nothing else missing from the internal side to the public side for the newly hand-entered records, and I have tried clicking "Publish All" to no avail. Related: Keyword searching in the internal side works perfectly for discovery of these hand-entered records. When I go to the public view, though, I will get the same search results, but when I click on any of those file records, I get the error message "We're sorry, but something went wrong." Does this mean something isn't linking correctly? I'd appreciate any advice that I can pass along to our Director of IT to fix the problem.

Some issues remain though and I want to ask about classifications, specifically about what collections/resources should or are intended to appear. Class_001 shows our manuscripts classification in Archon with sub-classifications, and notice collections MSS 025 and 131 at the bottom. These two appear here because they are linked to the manuscripts classification but are not sub-classified. Class_002 shows the ASpace admin view of the manuscript classification w/ MSS 025 and 131 listed, and a third unpublished record. Class_004 shows the Archon equivalent of Class_002 and here you do not see any collections listed in the Classification Manager, just the classification tree itself. So are these three collections that appear in ASpace (Class_002) supposed to be listed on this screen, or like Archon are we only supposed to see the classification structure? This brings me to my next question. In the Class_002 view, ASpace admin shows the three resources/collections when looking at the parent manuscript classification. But when you look at any of the sub-classifications you do not see any resources/collections listed. Class_005 shows no collections listed for "Twentieth Century American and British Literature" in the admin view, but there are correctly 81 collections that appear in this sub-classification's public view (Class_006). Archon never shows linked collections to classifications when looking at the Classification Manager. So should we or should we not see a list of resources/collections linked to the classifications in the ArchivesSpace admin view? Related to MSS 025 and 131, notice in Class_003 how the ASpace public view does not list these collections when clicking on the Manuscripts classification as Archon does in Class_001.

Text input field to the right of the checkbox field labelled, "Download Digital Object Files" I've been assuming this refers to where the digital objects will be stored on the aspace server when the migration is complete.

Checkbox for "Set Default Repository" I've never checked this box, because to the right of it is the default drop-down value, "Based on Linked Collection" (with no alternative values offered) which seems a reasonable default. But, what does this checkbox actually do? Does it set a default repository for everything imported from archon, or does it set one to use as a default for new collections created in aspace after the migration, or something else entirely? 3.

In other words, repositories ONLY need to worry about this if you were using the digital files upload feature in Archon.

We are actually looking to unlink, or more appropriately said, remove, all locations from our database since they were not done consistently. I apologize for the confusion and for not including screenshots to better explain. I'll try again. Here's a screenshot of the Instance and Location in ArchivesSpace 1.1.2. Notice the red circle indicating where you can remove a location from the record. [image: Inline image 1] However, in 1.4.2 (below), the X button is gone so there's no way to remove the location element from the Instance. [image: Inline image 2] As Miloche pointed out, I can click on the small x button on the location itself, which unlinks that specific location, but I actually want to remove the entire location element. Since I cannot remove it, and it's a required field, I still have to have something in it in order to save the full resource. If I could remove the location field, I could then save the record without entering a new location. I thought maybe the process changed, but the user manual still indicates that this is the appropriate way to remove locations from a sub-record: [image: Inline image 3] I hope this was more clear on what I am trying to do. I think it's a bug but wanted to hear if anyone else has noticed this.

Automatically place them in the same repository as the linked collection, or 2) Ehich ever repository you select from the drop down options. If the checkbox is not selected, then the default behavior is to just place the Accessions and unlinked Digital Objects in the first repository copied over (this is how the old tool worked). > 3.

I was running a migration from AT & Archon to ASpace 1.3 using the new migration tool. I would check to make sure your config.rb file in the 1.4* version is pointing at the right db. I would check your /lib directory to make sure it has the mysql connector. Also, I would stop archivessapce, backup/delete/rename your solr index, and then restart/reattempt.

I've checked the table referenced in the migration file on line 12 (the job table) and the structure seems to be ok - at least there's a column labeled repo_id in there, though I have no data in that table.

Posted this on AR/JIRA and here, too, in the event any one has ideas. Here's how we're using ArchivesSpace to catalog visual materials: Repository Collection (Resource) Photographic Material (Archival Object, Resource Component) Item (Archival Object, Resource Component) Digital Object >From the OPAC side, we'd like to represent the Photographic Material resource component as a discrete biblio holding in our OPAC. As I understand it, ArchivesSpace only exports top-level resources as MARCXML (i.e. Collection, in this case). Child resource components are available by exporting EAD container objects. This is not ideal for our use case, as any post-processing and reformatting of EAD for consumption by OPACs is impractical. For example, EAD "flattens" subjects/agents (does not preserve datafield/subfields expected by consuming OPACs). Additionally, EAD output is monolithic; parsing several thousand container tags is onerous at best. Can someone confirm whether this sort of task suitable for plugin development? I'm new to plugin architecture and could use some guidance before I do the deep dive and/or promote this idea to the ArchivesSpace developers. Moreover, is this a feature other institutions could benefit from?

In order to solve the issue we are having now, I am hopeful it is helpful to review our path over the last few years. We started by using Archivist Toolkit. When Archive Space (AS) was created we decided to move our date from Archivist Toolkit to AS. So we migrated to AS and due to various local networking issues we have our data on a local workstation and AS uses its internal database and not MySQL. We did this approximately a year ago and all was working well. But about a month ago we started getting the error messages, we were promoted vie email help to upgrade to 1.3, which we did but has not resolved the issue. which seemed to go well. Now we are in the situation where the run time error which I sent you, constantly comes up. You asked us to send you a MySQL log but as I noted above there is no MySQL to run a log from.

What does the importer check to see whether it is creating a new ArchivesSPace record or modifying one that it has found? What we've accomplished works great for new records, but it seems that, for example, if there is a record with an empty AuthorityId and I want to modify that record to have an AuthorityId by importing it's authority file the AuthorityId is not updated in the ArchivesSpace record. My guess, from running several tests, is that the authority id is not updated because even though the record we have imported has the AuthorityId and even the same primaryname and source as the record in ArchivesSpace; because, the ArchviesSpace record does not have the authorityId it does not think it is modifying the file. This is just a guess of course, I can't really tell what may be going on. Any insight on this? Thank you, Carlos Lemus On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 4:19 PM, brian wrote: > Glad we got that working!

Message-ID: All, Can anyone explain to me how ArchivesSpace identifies when two users are simultaneously editing the same record? In general our accessioning workflow is for my accessioning assistant to create accession records, then I review them. Almost invariably when I edit the record I get the following message: "This record is currently being edited by another user. Please contact the following users to ensure no conflicts occur: tevans." However I know that Tina is not currently editing any of these records. In most cases it's been days if not weeks since she has made edits. My staff have seen similar behavior for resoruces. It's a small nuisance, but it happens so often I'm curious, and I worry that if I begin to ignore the warning altogether I will eventually overwrite someone's work.

I would check your /lib directory to make sure it has the mysql connector. Also, I would stop archivessapce, backup/delete/rename your solr index, and then restart/reattempt. Sorry I cannot be more helpful. Thanks, Phil On Nov 6, 2015, at 9:16 AM, Joshua D. Shaw > wrote: Thanks Phil- Were you migrating from AT to AS v1.3 or from an earlier version of AS to v1.3? Since we are running production on v1.3, we're kinda stuck at that version until we can go forward. Unless I'm missing something here about the migration tool?

I've checked the table referenced in the migration file on line 12 (the job table) and the structure seems to be ok - at least there's a column labeled repo_id in there, though I have no data in that table. Any thoughts as to what might be the cause? We (Dartmouth) may be extra special since we are running a bunch of plugins. Thanks!

I am working on migrating Archivists' Toolkit to a clean install of AS v1.4.2. 1) I'm getting a number of 'Repository Mismatch Between Resource -- Accession' error messages. I understand that this is a result of potential mismatch between the accession's repositoryId and the resource's repositoryId (or, at least I think I understand that); in all the cases that I've checked (both in AT and in the database) the repositoryIds are the same. I'm checking ATdb/Accessions and ATdb/Resources -- is there somewhere else these values may need to be modified? 2) 'Linked Accession Not Found' also seems to be problematic - the accessions/resources I've checked are linked in the AT GUI and in the ATdb/AccessionsResources table. Similar question to 1 - is there somewhere else I need to be looking? 3) On a strange(r) note, after running the latest version of the migration utility, it reports something along the lines of: TOTAL COPY TIME: 27 min 27.10 sec NUMBER OF RECORDS COPIED: Lookup List : 34 / 34 (100.00%) Repositories : 3 / 3 (100.00%) Locations : 129 / 152 (84.87%) Users : 28 / 30 (93.33%) Subjects : 2403 / 2936 (81.85%) Names : 4241 / 4243 (99.95%) Accessions : 1776 / 2112 (84.09%) Digital Objects : 10 / 10 (100.00%) Resource Records : 3768 / 4258 (88.49%) But the records are nowhere to be found in AS.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Kate, I share your confusion, I was just trying to explain what happened? If you?re viewing an accession record in the staff interface in ?view? mode, the associated Events (including processing status) display just below the Collection Management sub-record. However, I think there is still a bug in the staff interface (at least in v1.3) where it still tries to display Processing Status information in the Collection Management subrecord area as well as an event (screenshot). [cid:image006.jpg at 01D12156.0E061A00] To your point, I now have events with type values like ?New-Unprocessed.? This seems odd. In your ?partially processed? example though, you could have many Processing Status events of ?partially processed? assigned to the same accession or resource record and then a ?fully processed? at a later date. I?m not sure about all the reporting implications, but my instinct is that, yes, it will make reporting out backlogs more complicated. -Noah From: archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org [mailto:archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org] On Behalf Of Bowers, Kate A.

Question/comment 1: We have consistently encountered a certain issue whenever we upgrade our ArchivesSpace instance, including this most recent time to 1.4.2. Somehow, some of our "Archival Resources" (collections) end up lost, or - at least - no longer marked as "resources." For example, I am currently working on a finding aid that had this problem and had to navigate to the collection from an archival object. Once I edit (or retype) something on the Collection record, it is fine. However, it seems like each time we?ve upgraded we ?lose? 10 or so random Resources. Does anyone understand why/how this happens and how we can fix this? Thanks for your help! ? I received a response already from another person who experienced a similar problem. It sounds like these records are not added to the index or somehow being kicked off during the upgrade. This person reiterated that if the file can be resaved it will be reindexed and the problem is fixed, but they also didn?t know why or how it happens. It would be great if somehow that glitch could be fixed! Question/comment 2: In general, I am really pleased by the appearance of the ASpace finding aids when they're exported as PDFs but I had a couple of comments about it: If I have added a General Note, that label appears in a bold and possibly even larger font than my folder titles. Is there a way to tweak that? Otherwise the notes have a stronger appearance than any of my other description. Also, is there a way to preserve line-breaks within the notes, for example, a more detailed inventory? I am able to create line-breaks when editing in ASpace, but it condenses everything into a lump when it spits out as a PDF. Also, I am working with a collection which has several languages. The PDF looks great with French and Spanish characters, but it spits out # for Czech letters. Is there a way to fix this? Again, when editing in ASpace, it looks fine with the ? ? ? sort of letters, but somehow there's a problem when exporting it as a PDF. -- I?ve already been told that I can tweak the PDF output in the XSLT stylesheet as-ead-pdf.xslm, and am looking forward to experimenting with it later today. This person said that diacritics are also processed by the stylesheets but may be tied to a larger issue, so I was encouraged to share it with the forum. Thanks for any help you could provide!

Can you explain how this is would work? How is an archivist supposed to understand an accession?s status from one or more associated ?events? rather than from a straightforward status? I can also see how this would make reporting out backlogs really difficult. The reason I ask is that I can see how an event can lead to a status, but it is entirely possible that a status may have no associated event. Furthermore, the same type of event may lead to different statuses. In brief, status is not the same as ?event?. I can think of a couple of examples to illustrate this: ? ?Unknown? can be a status, but it has no associated event ? ?Partially processed? can be both a status an event. However, if one ?partially processes? an accession once, then the accession remains partially processed. If one ?partially processes? again, it could be that the processing has been completed and the accession?s status is now ?processed? or it could be that the accession is still only ?partially processed? and that additional processing events will be necessary to reach a ?processed? status.

Hi Kelly, During a previous release (v1.3), I think Processing Status was moved from the collection management subrecord to an Event record. Here is a JIRA issue describing this change: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-827 Here are some specifics: Remove ?Processing Status? Collection Management sub-record If data is present, migrate to Event record with these settings and linked to same record collection management sub-record is linked to: Type = ?Processing [Value in Collection Management Record for Processing Status]? Date/Time Specifier = ?Time stamp for last modification of Collection Management record? Label= Agent relationship Type=Single Role=Implementer Agent=ID of agent last modifying the collection management sub-record So, if you previously had processing status in a collection management subrecord, you might try browsing your event records to see if you can locate that data.

Certainly it is possible and reasonable to have a discussion of how to adjust this change in functionality to make it more satisfying and less confusing, including reverting back to the functionality first included in ArchivesSpace. As I recall that functionality, it consisted of the ability to link a single collection management record to a material description record (accession, resource, or digital object but not components for resources and digital objects) and, further, to indicate in that collection management record the processing status of the material being described. Default terms were ?completed?, ?in_progress?, and ?new?, but the controlled value list was completely configurable. So institutions could add any terms they wanted to that list but they could only ever apply one status term to the material being described at a given time. We removed this field from the collection management field with the understanding such data would be better handled as event information and with the understanding that a change in status is first an event accomplished at a time and by an agent. We envisioned several benefits to this change: 1) As before, an organization has complete liberty to decide what terms it wants to use for expressing processing events and changes in processing status, as well as for any other events an institution chooses to track. The ?Event Event Type? list is completely configurable. 2) An event record allows much more information to be associated with the event, including a descriptive note about the event, when the event occurred, and who was responsible for the event. It struck us that knowing that processing of a collection was completed on a certain date and by a certain individual could be more useful information that know processing was simply completed. 3) Multiple event records can be associated to the same material description record. For instance, using event records it would be possible to indicate when processing of material started in one event record and when it was completed in another. 4) Multiple event records can be linked to component records. Thus for processing projects split into parallel parts, it would be possible to track, say, the processing progress of series. In short, our belief is that the collection management record in conjunction with event records provides a more comprehensive and flexible way for organizations to record collection management information. In that relationship, the collection management record is the location for planning?indicating processing priority, estimating processing time, indicating processing plan(s) and processor(s), but also noting funding source and whether rights are determined (it?s questionable whether or not these last two should be included in the collection management record)?while the event record is for recording completion (or not) of processing / administrative tasks associated with the materials?acquiring a purchase agreement, starting processing, completing processing, etc. There are requisites for this, of course: 1) Institutional policies regarding what events are to be tracked and what event vocabulary is to be used. 2) A process for creating and sharing reports that relate material descriptions, collection management, and events in meaningful ways. A segment of the ArchivesSpace community has been working to develop a reporting process, but the trajectory being taken will place the burden on institutions to define reports (You can, btw, see a record of this effort at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/2015-16+Reports (current work) and https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Reports+Sub-team (past work). It was also noted in the ArchivesSpace developers meeting last week, that information of this type would be very suitable for displaying in a dashboard widget. Of course, institutions can already build their own reporting and define their own reports by using report software to extract and format data from the ArchivesSpace MySQL database. But these would be requisites for any collection management information, supplemented or not by event information. They would be requisites for a reversion for a return to the previous data model. Let me close with two observations to other parts of this thread: 1) The display problem that Noah noted in his comment yesterday is a remnant of moving collection status to events. There is a bug report requesting its correction at AR-1324. 2) The presence of the ?Collection Management Processing Status? in the list of controlled values is also remnant of that change. It should be removed , unless there is a collective decision to revert. Thanks for pointing that out, Kelly. So it would be great to hear others weigh in on this. Collection management and event information have, as far as I know, no prevailing models or standards that we can simply follow. The closest to such is the de facto collection management sub-record created for accessions in the Archivists? Toolkit, which was generalized for all top-level material descriptions in ArchivesSpace and supplemented by the inclusion of events.

Message-ID: <29F559819ACA9A4FBF208407D4B63ABBD34C224A@OC11EXPO32.exchange.mit.edu> Hi, all. Thank you very much for this detailed explanation, Brad. As I was reading the original posts on this topic, I was thinking about the PREMIS data model, which also involves events. As you say, I see the events as being able to denote all collection statuses ? even Unknown was determined by a person(agent) on a date. As we are looking forward to having more of our collection descriptions / finding aids available through ArchivesSpace front end, it will be very useful for us to know the status of various parts of a Resource record. If, in fact the ?front matter? is complete and reviewed and given a status as such, then we could make that part Public. But knowing that the series and container lists are just preliminary lists and we don?t want to yet make them public, that would be really helpful to know. Since we work on improving our description over time and as we are digitizing more of our collection material, we will be adding uneven description levels within a Resource record, we?d like to be able to note that Event=digitization has triggered Event=item level description with a date, person, and reason. We were just discussing collection processing status today so this is a very timely discussion and we look forward to hearing from others on the topic as well. The reporting of this event information will be, as you say, an important activity that will need to be done and ideally shared out to the ArchivesSpace community.

Hi. Certainly it is possible and reasonable to have a discussion of how to adjust this change in functionality to make it more satisfying and less confusing, including reverting back to the functionality first included in ArchivesSpace. As I recall that functionality, it consisted of the ability to link a single collection management record to a material description record (accession, resource, or digital object but not components for resources and digital objects) and, further, to indicate in that collection management record the processing status of the material being described. Default terms were ?completed?, ?in_progress?, and ?new?, but the controlled value list was completely configurable. So institutions could add any terms they wanted to that list but they could only ever apply one status term to the material being described at a given time. We removed this field from the collection management field with the understanding such data would be better handled as event information and with the understanding that a change in status is first an event accomplished at a time and by an agent. We envisioned several benefits to this change: 1) As before, an organization has complete liberty to decide what terms it wants to use for expressing processing events and changes in processing status, as well as for any other events an institution chooses to track. The ?Event Event Type? list is completely configurable. 2) An event record allows much more information to be associated with the event, including a descriptive note about the event, when the event occurred, and who was responsible for the event. It struck us that knowing that processing of a collection was completed on a certain date and by a certain individual could be more useful information that know processing was simply completed. 3) Multiple event records can be associated to the same material description record. For instance, using event records it would be possible to indicate when processing of material started in one event record and when it was completed in another. 4) Multiple event records can be linked to component records. Thus for processing projects split into parallel parts, it would be possible to track, say, the processing progress of series. In short, our belief is that the collection management record in conjunction with event records provides a more comprehensive and flexible way for organizations to record collection management information. In that relationship, the collection management record is the location for planning?indicating processing priority, estimating processing time, indicating processing plan(s) and processor(s), but also noting funding source and whether rights are determined (it?s questionable whether or not these last two should be included in the collection management record)?while the event record is for recording completion (or not) of processing / administrative tasks associated with the materials?acquiring a purchase agreement, starting processing, completing processing, etc. There are requisites for this, of course: 1) Institutional policies regarding what events are to be tracked and what event vocabulary is to be used. 2) A process for creating and sharing reports that relate material descriptions, collection management, and events in meaningful ways. A segment of the ArchivesSpace community has been working to develop a reporting process, but the trajectory being taken will place the burden on institutions to define reports (You can, btw, see a record of this effort at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/2015-16+Reports (current work) and https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Reports+Sub-team (past work). It was also noted in the ArchivesSpace developers meeting last week, that information of this type would be very suitable for displaying in a dashboard widget. Of course, institutions can already build their own reporting and define their own reports by using report software to extract and format data from the ArchivesSpace MySQL database. But these would be requisites for any collection management information, supplemented or not by event information. They would be requisites for a reversion for a return to the previous data model. Let me close with two observations to other parts of this thread: 1) The display problem that Noah noted in his comment yesterday is a remnant of moving collection status to events. There is a bug report requesting its correction at AR-1324. 2) The presence of the ?Collection Management Processing Status? in the list of controlled values is also remnant of that change. It should be removed , unless there is a collective decision to revert. Thanks for pointing that out, Kelly. So it would be great to hear others weigh in on this. Collection management and event information have, as far as I know, no prevailing models or standards that we can simply follow. The closest to such is the de facto collection management sub-record created for accessions in the Archivists? Toolkit, which was generalized for all top-level material descriptions in ArchivesSpace and supplemented by the inclusion of events. The ArchivesSpace event module is itself an extension of the PREMIS events. Best, Brad W.

It seems useful to allow a resource or accession to have lots of processing events associated with it (who did what, when), but it also seems that a resource or accession will always have only one current status (processed, not processed, partially processed, etc.). Also, associated events do not display in "edit" mode for resources or accessions (collection management sub-records do). As a result, it's a bit complicated to figure out what the processing status is if you have to sort through a long list of associated events in "view" mode. -Noah From: archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org [mailto:archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org] On Behalf Of Bowers, Kate A.

Brad, Thanks for your very thorough reply! I think you presented this as an either/or choice. However, because events and processing status are not logical equivalents (they may be associated in that the status may be the result of an event, but it does not have to be), I do not understand why adding features to the events record requires removal of the status.

Hi. Certainly it is possible and reasonable to have a discussion of how to adjust this change in functionality to make it more satisfying and less confusing, including reverting back to the functionality first included in ArchivesSpace. As I recall that functionality, it consisted of the ability to link a single collection management record to a material description record (accession, resource, or digital object but not components for resources and digital objects) and, further, to indicate in that collection management record the processing status of the material being described. Default terms were "completed", "in_progress", and "new", but the controlled value list was completely configurable. So institutions could add any terms they wanted to that list but they could only ever apply one status term to the material being described at a given time. We removed this field from the collection management field with the understanding such data would be better handled as event information and with the understanding that a change in status is first an event accomplished at a time and by an agent. We envisioned several benefits to this change: 1) As before, an organization has complete liberty to decide what terms it wants to use for expressing processing events and changes in processing status, as well as for any other events an institution chooses to track. The "Event Event Type" list is completely configurable. 2) An event record allows much more information to be associated with the event, including a descriptive note about the event, when the event occurred, and who was responsible for the event. It struck us that knowing that processing of a collection was completed on a certain date and by a certain individual could be more useful information that know processing was simply completed. 3) Multiple event records can be associated to the same material description record. For instance, using event records it would be possible to indicate when processing of material started in one event record and when it was completed in another. 4) Multiple event records can be linked to component records. Thus for processing projects split into parallel parts, it would be possible to track, say, the processing progress of series. In short, our belief is that the collection management record in conjunction with event records provides a more comprehensive and flexible way for organizations to record collection management information. In that relationship, the collection management record is the location for planning-indicating processing priority, estimating processing time, indicating processing plan(s) and processor(s), but also noting funding source and whether rights are determined (it's questionable whether or not these last two should be included in the collection management record)-while the event record is for recording completion (or not) of processing / administrative tasks associated with the materials-acquiring a purchase agreement, starting processing, completing processing, etc. There are requisites for this, of course: 1) Institutional policies regarding what events are to be tracked and what event vocabulary is to be used. 2) A process for creating and sharing reports that relate material descriptions, collection management, and events in meaningful ways. A segment of the ArchivesSpace community has been working to develop a reporting process, but the trajectory being taken will place the burden on institutions to define reports (You can, btw, see a record of this effort at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/2015-16+Reports (current work) and https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Reports+Sub-team (past work). It was also noted in the ArchivesSpace developers meeting last week, that information of this type would be very suitable for displaying in a dashboard widget. Of course, institutions can already build their own reporting and define their own reports by using report software to extract and format data from the ArchivesSpace MySQL database. But these would be requisites for any collection management information, supplemented or not by event information. They would be requisites for a reversion for a return to the previous data model. Let me close with two observations to other parts of this thread: 1) The display problem that Noah noted in his comment yesterday is a remnant of moving collection status to events. There is a bug report requesting its correction at AR-1324. 2) The presence of the "Collection Management Processing Status" in the list of controlled values is also remnant of that change. It should be removed , unless there is a collective decision to revert. Thanks for pointing that out, Kelly. So it would be great to hear others weigh in on this. Collection management and event information have, as far as I know, no prevailing models or standards that we can simply follow. The closest to such is the de facto collection management sub-record created for accessions in the Archivists' Toolkit, which was generalized for all top-level material descriptions in ArchivesSpace and supplemented by the inclusion of events. The ArchivesSpace event module is itself an extension of the PREMIS events. Best, Brad W.

I am very confused. Can you explain how this is would work? How is an archivist supposed to understand an accession's status from one or more associated "events" rather than from a straightforward status? I can also see how this would make reporting out backlogs really difficult. The reason I ask is that I can see how an event can lead to a status, but it is entirely possible that a status may have no associated event. Furthermore, the same type of event may lead to different statuses. In brief, status is not the same as "event". I can think of a couple of examples to illustrate this: * "Unknown" can be a status, but it has no associated event * "Partially processed" can be both a status an event. However, if one "partially processes" an accession once, then the accession remains partially processed. If one "partially processes" again, it could be that the processing has been completed and the accession's status is now "processed" or it could be that the accession is still only "partially processed" and that additional processing events will be necessary to reach a "processed" status.

In other words, you could just change line 1094 so that it looked like this, and see how that looks: o ? As for line breaks, ArchivesSpace doesn?t spit those character returns out in the EAD as line breaks, so there?s no way for them to show up in the PDF? unless you actually include those EAD tags in the notes by hand-encoding them, like so: Line 1Line 2. I?d be wary of using line breaks, though, if you can use something else like a list, especially since this is stored as text in the database, and not XML. What?s the reason for including the line breaks? ? As for the character display issues, that?s probably due to the font that?s used when the PDF file is generated. I?m actually not sure what font is being used, so perhaps someone else can comment about that. I haven?t looked into the PDF stuff in too much detail yet, but it?s likely that I?ll be focusing on that in the next few months. Anyhow, if the Czech characters are available in whatever font is used, then they should display. You?d also want to check to make sure that the characters are spit out correctly in the EAD, but I?m somewhat sure that shouldn?t be a problem.

Question/comment 1: We have consistently encountered a certain issue whenever we upgrade our ArchivesSpace instance, including this most recent time to 1.4.2. Somehow, some of our "Archival Resources" (collections) end up lost, or - at least - no longer marked as "resources." For example, I am currently working on a finding aid that had this problem and had to navigate to the collection from an archival object. Once I edit (or retype) something on the Collection record, it is fine. However, it seems like each time we?ve upgraded we ?lose? 10 or so random Resources. Does anyone understand why/how this happens and how we can fix this? Thanks for your help! ? I received a response already from another person who experienced a similar problem. It sounds like these records are not added to the index or somehow being kicked off during the upgrade. This person reiterated that if the file can be resaved it will be reindexed and the problem is fixed, but they also didn?t know why or how it happens. It would be great if somehow that glitch could be fixed! Question/comment 2: In general, I am really pleased by the appearance of the ASpace finding aids when they're exported as PDFs but I had a couple of comments about it: If I have added a General Note, that label appears in a bold and possibly even larger font than my folder titles. Is there a way to tweak that? Otherwise the notes have a stronger appearance than any of my other description. Also, is there a way to preserve line-breaks within the notes, for example, a more detailed inventory? I am able to create line-breaks when editing in ASpace, but it condenses everything into a lump when it spits out as a PDF. Also, I am working with a collection which has several languages. The PDF looks great with French and Spanish characters, but it spits out # for Czech letters. Is there a way to fix this? Again, when editing in ASpace, it looks fine with the ? ? ? sort of letters, but somehow there's a problem when exporting it as a PDF. -- I?ve already been told that I can tweak the PDF output in the XSLT stylesheet as-ead-pdf.xslm, and am looking forward to experimenting with it later today. This person said that diacritics are also processed by the stylesheets but may be tied to a larger issue, so I was encouraged to share it with the forum. Thanks for any help you could provide!

The latter provides students with access to the ArchivesSpace user manual, and the program with some other benefits of ArchivesSpace membership.

Kalin Early Career Librarian for Technological Innovations Penn State University Libraries From: "Kari R Smith" To: "Archivesspace Users Group" Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 7:35:35 PM Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Collection management-processing status disappeared... Hi, all. Thank you very much for this detailed explanation, Brad. As I was reading the original posts on this topic, I was thinking about the PREMIS data model, which also involves events. As you say, I see the events as being able to denote all collection statuses ? even Unknown was determined by a person(agent) on a date. As we are looking forward to having more of our collection descriptions / finding aids available through ArchivesSpace front end, it will be very useful for us to know the status of various parts of a Resource record. If, in fact the ?front matter? is complete and reviewed and given a status as such, then we could make that part Public. But knowing that the series and container lists are just preliminary lists and we don?t want to yet make them public, that would be really helpful to know. Since we work on improving our description over time and as we are digitizing more of our collection material, we will be adding uneven description levels within a Resource record, we?d like to be able to note that Event=digitization has triggered Event=item level description with a date, person, and reason. We were just discussing collection processing status today so this is a very timely discussion and we look forward to hearing from others on the topic as well. The reporting of this event information will be, as you say, an important activity that will need to be done and ideally shared out to the ArchivesSpace community.

Hi. Certainly it is possible and reasonable to have a discussion of how to adjust this change in functionality to make it more satisfying and less confusing, including reverting back to the functionality first included in ArchivesSpace. As I recall that functionality, it consisted of the ability to link a single collection management record to a material description record (accession, resource, or digital object but not components for resources and digital objects) and, further, to indicate in that collection management record the processing status of the material being described. Default terms were ?completed?, ?in_progress?, and ?new?, but the controlled value list was completely configurable. So institutions could add any terms they wanted to that list but they could only ever apply one status term to the material being described at a given time. We removed this field from the collection management field with the understanding such data would be better handled as event information and with the understanding that a change in status is first an event accomplished at a time and by an agent. We envisioned several benefits to this change: 1) As before, an organization has complete liberty to decide what terms it wants to use for expressing processing events and changes in processing status, as well as for any other events an institution chooses to track. The ?Event Event Type? list is completely configurable. 2) An event record allows much more information to be associated with the event, including a descriptive note about the event, when the event occurred, and who was responsible for the event. It struck us that knowing that processing of a collection was completed on a certain date and by a certain individual could be more useful information that know processing was simply completed. 3) Multiple event records can be associated to the same material description record. For instance, using event records it would be possible to indicate when processing of material started in one event record and when it was completed in another. 4) Multiple event records can be linked to component records. Thus for processing projects split into parallel parts, it would be possible to track, say, the processing progress of series. In short, our belief is that the collection management record in conjunction with event records provides a more comprehensive and flexible way for organizations to record collection management information. In that relationship, the collection management record is the location for planning?indicating processing priority, estimating processing time, indicating processing plan(s) and processor(s), but also noting funding source and whether rights are determined (it?s questionable whether or not these last two should be included in the collection management record)?while the event record is for recording completion (or not) of processing / administrative tasks associated with the materials?acquiring a purchase agreement, starting processing, completing processing, etc. There are requisites for this, of course: 1) Institutional policies regarding what events are to be tracked and what event vocabulary is to be used. 2) A process for creating and sharing reports that relate material descriptions, collection management, and events in meaningful ways. A segment of the ArchivesSpace community has been working to develop a reporting process, but the trajectory being taken will place the burden on institutions to define reports (You can, btw, see a record of this effort at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/2015-16+Reports (current work) and https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Reports+Sub-team (past work). It was also noted in the ArchivesSpace developers meeting last week, that information of this type would be very suitable for displaying in a dashboard widget. Of course, institutions can already build their own reporting and define their own reports by using report software to extract and format data from the ArchivesSpace MySQL database. But these would be requisites for any collection management information, supplemented or not by event information. They would be requisites for a reversion for a return to the previous data model. Let me close with two observations to other parts of this thread: 1) The display problem that Noah noted in his comment yesterday is a remnant of moving collection status to events. There is a bug report requesting its correction at AR-1324 . 2) The presence of the ?Collection Management Processing Status? in the list of controlled values is also remnant of that change. It should be removed , unless there is a collective decision to revert. Thanks for pointing that out, Kelly. So it would be great to hear others weigh in on this. Collection management and event information have, as far as I know, no prevailing models or standards that we can simply follow. The closest to such is the de facto collection management sub-record created for accessions in the Archivists? Toolkit, which was generalized for all top-level material descriptions in ArchivesSpace and supplemented by the inclusion of events. The ArchivesSpace event module is itself an extension of the PREMIS events. Best, Brad W.

I am very confused. Can you explain how this is would work? How is an archivist supposed to understand an accession?s status from one or more associated ?events? rather than from a straightforward status? I can also see how this would make reporting out backlogs really difficult. The reason I ask is that I can see how an event can lead to a status, but it is entirely possible that a status may have no associated event. Furthermore, the same type of event may lead to different statuses. In brief, status is not the same as ?event?. I can think of a couple of examples to illustrate this: ? ?Unknown? can be a status, but it has no associated event ? ?Partially processed? can be both a status an event. However, if one ?partially processes? an accession once, then the accession remains partially processed. If one ?partially processes? again, it could be that the processing has been completed and the accession?s status is now ?processed? or it could be that the accession is still only ?partially processed? and that additional processing events will be necessary to reach a ?processed? status.

They appear to reflect the Agent who selected the Processing Status and the Timestamp of when the Agent made the Processing Status selection.

Hi. Certainly it is possible and reasonable to have a discussion of how to adjust this change in functionality to make it more satisfying and less confusing, including reverting back to the functionality first included in ArchivesSpace. As I recall that functionality, it consisted of the ability to link a single collection management record to a material description record (accession, resource, or digital object but not components for resources and digital objects) and, further, to indicate in that collection management record the processing status of the material being described. Default terms were ?completed?, ?in_progress?, and ?new?, but the controlled value list was completely configurable. So institutions could add any terms they wanted to that list but they could only ever apply one status term to the material being described at a given time. We removed this field from the collection management field with the understanding such data would be better handled as event information and with the understanding that a change in status is first an event accomplished at a time and by an agent. We envisioned several benefits to this change: 1) As before, an organization has complete liberty to decide what terms it wants to use for expressing processing events and changes in processing status, as well as for any other events an institution chooses to track. The ?Event Event Type? list is completely configurable. 2) An event record allows much more information to be associated with the event, including a descriptive note about the event, when the event occurred, and who was responsible for the event. It struck us that knowing that processing of a collection was completed on a certain date and by a certain individual could be more useful information that know processing was simply completed. 3) Multiple event records can be associated to the same material description record. For instance, using event records it would be possible to indicate when processing of material started in one event record and when it was completed in another. 4) Multiple event records can be linked to component records. Thus for processing projects split into parallel parts, it would be possible to track, say, the processing progress of series. In short, our belief is that the collection management record in conjunction with event records provides a more comprehensive and flexible way for organizations to record collection management information. In that relationship, the collection management record is the location for planning?indicating processing priority, estimating processing time, indicating processing plan(s) and processor(s), but also noting funding source and whether rights are determined (it?s questionable whether or not these last two should be included in the collection management record)?while the event record is for recording completion (or not) of processing / administrative tasks associated with the materials?acquiring a purchase agreement, starting processing, completing processing, etc. There are requisites for this, of course: 1) Institutional policies regarding what events are to be tracked and what event vocabulary is to be used. 2) A process for creating and sharing reports that relate material descriptions, collection management, and events in meaningful ways. A segment of the ArchivesSpace community has been working to develop a reporting process, but the trajectory being taken will place the burden on institutions to define reports (You can, btw, see a record of this effort at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/2015-16+Reports (current work) andhttps://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Reports+Sub-team (past work). It was also noted in the ArchivesSpace developers meeting last week, that information of this type would be very suitable for displaying in a dashboard widget. Of course, institutions can already build their own reporting and define their own reports by using report software to extract and format data from the ArchivesSpace MySQL database. But these would be requisites for any collection management information, supplemented or not by event information. They would be requisites for a reversion for a return to the previous data model. Let me close with two observations to other parts of this thread: 1) The display problem that Noah noted in his comment yesterday is a remnant of moving collection status to events. There is a bug report requesting its correction at AR-1324. 2) The presence of the ?Collection Management Processing Status? in the list of controlled values is also remnant of that change. It should be removed , unless there is a collective decision to revert. Thanks for pointing that out, Kelly. So it would be great to hear others weigh in on this. Collection management and event information have, as far as I know, no prevailing models or standards that we can simply follow. The closest to such is the de facto collection management sub-record created for accessions in the Archivists? Toolkit, which was generalized for all top-level material descriptions in ArchivesSpace and supplemented by the inclusion of events. The ArchivesSpace event module is itself an extension of the PREMIS events. Best, Brad W.

I am very confused. Can you explain how this is would work? How is an archivist supposed to understand an accession?s status from one or more associated ?events? rather than from a straightforward status? I can also see how this would make reporting out backlogs really difficult. The reason I ask is that I can see how an event can lead to a status, but it is entirely possible that a status may have no associated event. Furthermore, the same type of event may lead to different statuses. In brief, status is not the same as ?event?. I can think of a couple of examples to illustrate this: ? ?Unknown? can be a status, but it has no associated event ? ?Partially processed? can be both a status an event. However, if one ?partially processes? an accession once, then the accession remains partially processed. If one ?partially processes? again, it could be that the processing has been completed and the accession?s status is now ?processed? or it could be that the accession is still only ?partially processed? and that additional processing events will be necessary to reach a ?processed? status.

Put the field names as the content for each field whenever possible, or pick a date that you will recognize. Utilize all possible fields in this test record. This way, you can look down a list of fields in AT, check where they migrated to in AS, and whether they act as you would expect. It will also tell you if there are any fields missing from the AT to AS migration (this shouldn?t happen unless you got thrown some error messages). Using the field names as the content just help you do quick eye checks of the data. Doing this will at least give you a way to make sure everything is mapping to where you expect.

Based on all of the provided feedback I asked some of our staff to work/test the new functionality while trying to consider the intent behind the changes, our existing local workflows and collections metadata, and the abstract "what do we consider processing status to mean". Based on this examination of the new functionality we would like to provide the following feedback (many of which have already been stated in this email thread): * In regards to "an event record allows much more information to be associated with the event", it has been our local practice and belief that more nuanced processing information that would help researchers and staff better understand a finding aid/the physical collection should be recorded in a corresponding "Processing Information" note (which is informed by our interpretation of DACS 7.1.8). That said, we do appreciate that the event record allows for the capturing of some metadata that would be less relevant to researchers, and consequently a place where additional metadata could be recorded outside of the aforementioned note field. * After examining our "processing status" data and discussing the new functionality, we agree with Kate's observation that "events and processing statuses are not logical equivalents." Additionally, we also agree with Noah's comment "that a resource or accession will always have only one current status." * Additionally, based on our examination, we do not believe that is ideal or logical to separate "processing status" from collection management records that still include: "processing priority", "processing plan", and "processors". * Our local workflows appear to be at a high level similar to what Carolyn has reported, and along with the data we had already created to take advantage of the previous functionality, we also preferred the simplicity of the processing status being a simple drop-down selection in the collection management records. * Based on our local use the processing status field, along with the current status of the ASpace tool, we found it much easier to report on collection status and to locate appropriate collections projects for our workers with the previous functionality over the current. * Finally, we also echo Kate's sentiment in that we do not understand why the new event features requires the removal of the processing status from the collection management records and consequently wonder if there is any reason not to have both? Due to the above points we are of the opinion that if the new event features cannot be appropriately maintained while also having the processing status functionality reside in the collection management records, we would be in favor of a return to the previous functionality, or a new approach that is more similar to the previous functionality. With that said, we understand that our rationale for this request is largely based on our local understanding of the role of the processing status field, our local workflows, and and our existing data. Because of this we recognize that not all ASpace members might share our perspective, and consequently we welcome continued discussion on this subject as appropriate. Thank you again to everyone who have already participated in the conversation, and we hope that as a community we can reach a consensus on the best direction for us to proceed in the near future. Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. -Matt Matt Francis Archivist for Collection Management Special Collections Library Penn State University From: "Runyon, Carolyn" To: "Archivesspace Users Group" Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 2:12:09 PM Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Collection management - processing status disappeared... We used the Processing Status field in the Collection Management module to track processing of our all our Resource records. It?s a little less complex than the data needed to populate an Event. I preferred the basic dropdown menu offered in Collection Management because it doesn?t require and Event Date/Time or a link it to an Agent. With legacy data, I won?t able to link an accurate Agent or Date to my processing events, which means I?ll have to devise some sort of input workaround for undated and anonymous Events. One last note, when Processing Status became and Event, Event Date/Time and Agent Links were populated, but they?re not accurate. They appear to reflect the Agent who selected the Processing Status and the Timestamp of when the Agent made the Processing Status selection. This means that if I want accurate data, I?ll need to clean up this legacy data.

It seems useful to allow a resource or accession to have lots of processing events associated with it (who did what, when), but it also seems that a resource or accession will always have only one current status (processed, not processed, partially processed, etc.). Also, associated events do not display in ?edit? mode for resources or accessions (collection management sub-records do).

Hi. Certainly it is possible and reasonable to have a discussion of how to adjust this change in functionality to make it more satisfying and less confusing, including reverting back to the functionality first included in ArchivesSpace. As I recall that functionality, it consisted of the ability to link a single collection management record to a material description record (accession, resource, or digital object but not components for resources and digital objects) and, further, to indicate in that collection management record the processing status of the material being described. Default terms were ?completed?, ?in_progress?, and ?new?, but the controlled value list was completely configurable. So institutions could add any terms they wanted to that list but they could only ever apply one status term to the material being described at a given time. We removed this field from the collection management field with the understanding such data would be better handled as event information and with the understanding that a change in status is first an event accomplished at a time and by an agent. We envisioned several benefits to this change: 1) As before, an organization has complete liberty to decide what terms it wants to use for expressing processing events and changes in processing status, as well as for any other events an institution chooses to track. The ?Event Event Type? list is completely configurable. 2) An event record allows much more information to be associated with the event, including a descriptive note about the event, when the event occurred, and who was responsible for the event. It struck us that knowing that processing of a collection was completed on a certain date and by a certain individual could be more useful information that know processing was simply completed. 3) Multiple event records can be associated to the same material description record. For instance, using event records it would be possible to indicate when processing of material started in one event record and when it was completed in another. 4) Multiple event records can be linked to component records. Thus for processing projects split into parallel parts, it would be possible to track, say, the processing progress of series. In short, our belief is that the collection management record in conjunction with event records provides a more comprehensive and flexible way for organizations to record collection management information. In that relationship, the collection management record is the location for planning?indicating processing priority, estimating processing time, indicating processing plan(s) and processor(s), but also noting funding source and whether rights are determined (it?s questionable whether or not these last two should be included in the collection management record)?while the event record is for recording completion (or not) of processing / administrative tasks associated with the materials?acquiring a purchase agreement, starting processing, completing processing, etc. There are requisites for this, of course: 1) Institutional policies regarding what events are to be tracked and what event vocabulary is to be used. 2) A process for creating and sharing reports that relate material descriptions, collection management, and events in meaningful ways. A segment of the ArchivesSpace community has been working to develop a reporting process, but the trajectory being taken will place the burden on institutions to define reports (You can, btw, see a record of this effort at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/2015-16+Reports (current work) and https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AC/Reports+Sub-team (past work). It was also noted in the ArchivesSpace developers meeting last week, that information of this type would be very suitable for displaying in a dashboard widget. Of course, institutions can already build their own reporting and define their own reports by using report software to extract and format data from the ArchivesSpace MySQL database. But these would be requisites for any collection management information, supplemented or not by event information. They would be requisites for a reversion for a return to the previous data model. Let me close with two observations to other parts of this thread: 1) The display problem that Noah noted in his comment yesterday is a remnant of moving collection status to events. There is a bug report requesting its correction at AR-1324 . 2) The presence of the ?Collection Management Processing Status? in the list of controlled values is also remnant of that change. It should be removed , unless there is a collective decision to revert. Thanks for pointing that out, Kelly. So it would be great to hear others weigh in on this. Collection management and event information have, as far as I know, no prevailing models or standards that we can simply follow. The closest to such is the de facto collection management sub-record created for accessions in the Archivists? Toolkit, which was generalized for all top-level material descriptions in ArchivesSpace and supplemented by the inclusion of events. The ArchivesSpace event module is itself an extension of the PREMIS events. Best, Brad W.

I am very confused. Can you explain how this is would work? How is an archivist supposed to understand an accession?s status from one or more associated ?events? rather than from a straightforward status? I can also see how this would make reporting out backlogs really difficult. The reason I ask is that I can see how an event can lead to a status, but it is entirely possible that a status may have no associated event. Furthermore, the same type of event may lead to different statuses. In brief, status is not the same as ?event?. I can think of a couple of examples to illustrate this: ? ?Unknown? can be a status, but it has no associated event ? ?Partially processed? can be both a status an event. However, if one ?partially processes? an accession once, then the accession remains partially processed. If one ?partially processes? again, it could be that the processing has been completed and the accession?s status is now ?processed? or it could be that the accession is still only ?partially processed? and that additional processing events will be necessary to reach a ?processed? status.

Hi Kelly, During a previous release (v1.3), I think Processing Status was moved from the collection management subrecord to an Event record. Here is a JIRA issue describing this change: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-827 Here are some specifics: Remove ?Processing Status? Collection Management sub-record If data is present, migrate to Event record with these settings and linked to same record collection management sub-record is linked to: Type = ?Processing [Value in Collection Management Record for Processing Status]? Date/Time Specifier = ?Time stamp for last modification of Collection Management record? Label= Agent relationship Type=Single Role=Implementer Agent=ID of agent last modifying the collection management sub-record So, if you previously had processing status in a collection management subrecord, you might try browsing your event records to see if you can locate that data. Hope this helps, -Noah ================ Noah Huffman Archivist for Metadata, Systems, and Digital Records David M.

Hello! Our Processing Status field is visible when using the Manage Controlled Value Lists feature; but is not present when actually working within a collection management sub-record in an accession or resource. Any tips or advice out there?

In the press release it states that the list is tailored of the ?members from your region.? As long as we know which version goes with the member list, the way she split it up is fine. (We can make the connection in the metadata.) Kari From: Kimberly M Kennedy Sent: Monday, November 30, 2015 10:40 AM To: Mikki Simon Macdonald Cc: archives-reformat; cps-reformat Subject: response requested- AC0069 Batch 21 Question Hi Mikki, I just wanted to double-check with you about how to divide one section into separate PDFs. There are a group of press releases about the MIT Gospel Choir going on tour. They all have different text but all refer to an attached list of members. However, there is only one copy of the list of members. I thought it made sense to make the list a separate PDF- in the files I?ve attached it?s PDF 16. Let me know if you think this looks OK or if you?d like me to split the PDFs up in a different way. Thanks!
