I have not yet brought ArchivesSpace online yet, but within Archon, for the university permanent art collection, we uploaded a digital photograph of each art item, described it, and also uploaded a pdf of the accession record.  Here's an example:

http://archives.uwf.edu/Archon/index.php?p=digitallibrary/digitalcontent&id=1165&q=TAG

I have looked into how the data exported into ArchivesSpace, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.  Our university's "The Art Gallery" wanted to at lease have a basic online record of each piece and its location (at the time of cataloging--whether in storage or placed somewhere on campus).

Hello,

Does anyone out there have experience using ArchivesSpace for art collections? Please let me know so that we can talk offline.

Thanks.
