[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Using ASpace event records to track digitization work?

[Michelle Paquette]

At my former institution we used the "Capture" event to track capture of
born digital, using the Outcome field to specify whether the capture was
successful, partially successful, or unsuccessful and detailing where the
captured material was now stored and any associated files related to the
capture report. But we weren't using events to note digitization of analog
material. I'd be happy to connect anyone to the Digital Archivist there if
they want to know more.
