[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace Integrations Wish List

[Hughes, Margaret]

Thanks so much for your response, Seth, and for including an example of the functionality you’d like to see in a CONTENTdm/ASpace integration. I’ve added it to our list!

I’ve heard from others off-list, and so far our “integrations wish list” includes:

·         CONTENTdm x2

·         Trello

·         ILS x2

Please reach out (on- or off-list) if you have an ASpace integration you’d like to see!

Something that came up in the recent community call is the ability to connect ArchivesSpace to digital asset management systems (e.g. CONTENTdm).

For example, we use a script[1] to find all of the objects in CONTENTdm that match the title, date, and collection identifier fields to create ArchivesSpace digital objects + instances so that the AS EAD and PDF exports will link to our objects in CONTENTdm. Granted, this title/date matching wasn't perfect, but 97% was close enough that the remaining 14 could be easily reviewed manually. This sure beats making a few thousand, or even a few hundred manual digital object records.

Of course, I'm running this script on my own computer which isn't an ideal workflow. It would be better if this were a plugin with a drop-down menu button and configuration screen so that ArchivesSpace users can initiate the matching and import on their own. If someone wants to port the code to Ruby, make the necessary configuration pages, and/or generally improve it; I think there are plenty of people who would appreciate it.

Hi all,

The Integrations sub-team of TAC (Technical Advisory Council) is interested in hearing about your most desired ArchivesSpace integrations. What other systems and software do you wish ASpace could talk to? This could be anything – large or small, common or uncommon. Trello, your ILS, Slack, etc etc – whatever comes to mind!

Send your replies on- or off-list. Any input is much appreciated!

Thank you,

Maggie, on behalf of the TAC Integrations sub-team
