[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Sandbox Off line - 502 error/ArchivesSpace Educational Program membership

[Christine Di Bella]

Dear Kari,

An Educational Program Member is responsible for implementing its own instance. Just as with a General member, an institution could contract with LYRASIS (or another service provider) to provide hosting for its Educational instance, but hosting is not included in the membership. You might want to check with other Educational Program members about how they have set up ArchivesSpace for students at their institutions.

Hi Christine,
Thanks for your note.  I didn't know about the Educational Program Membership - and that sounds great! It seems from the description that the ArchivesSpace instance is hosted by LYRASIS which is in general the challenge of having the program for a class.
This is definitely something I'll see about joining for class next semester I teach.  Thank you for sharing that information.

Dear Kari (and others who may be interested in using ArchivesSpace in courses),

We were alerted to this outage this morning and rebuilt the sandbox a short time ago. It is back up now.

The sandbox is intended to be a place where people who don't want to download and install anything to try out various aspects of ArchivesSpace. It's cleared out and rebuilt frequently as we make updates to the application, so it's not a great place to work on class assignments or anything that is either time-sensitive or needs to be kept. In a case like this one, we would suggest either doing a local installation of ArchivesSpace, or, for assignments that are part of work in a graduate program in archives/information science/public history, etc., faculty or administrators consider a free Educational Program Membership (see http://archivesspace.org/educationalmembership). The latter provides students with access to the ArchivesSpace user manual, and the program with some other benefits of ArchivesSpace membership.

We currently have 8 Educational Program Members (see the bottom of our members page - http://archivesspace.org/members - for a listing), and we'd love to have other schools join them.

Best,
Christine

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Sandbox Off line - 502 error

Hello,
I've had reports and checked myself just now that the Sandbox has been down since Saturday or Sunday.  The error is 502 Bad Gateway - Ngnix 1.6.2.

Thank you for looking into getting it back up.  I've asked students in my course who are using ArchivesSpace to learn about archival management systems to create resource records and so are interested in having the Sandbox back up.

Thank you,
Kari
