[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Alma Integration

[Jenn Colt]

This is basically the list we are working on for our local implementation's integration with Voyager (and Folio in the future).


Most of our work right now is in scripts between ASpace and Voyager using the ASpace APIs  and our Voyager batch processes rather than modifications within either system.

For us, we want to be able to:


  *   create holdings and items in Alma, from ArchivesSpace, using existing Top Container metadata;
  *   compare MARC records for a Resource between the two systems, and push to/pull from Alma as needed to keep metadata in sync; and
  *   compare item-level metadata between the two systems, and eventually to push to/pull from Alma as needed to keep inventory records in sync

In general we want to keep archival description work in ArchivesSpace and use the APIs to update Alma, instead of having to train archivists on metadata management in two different systems. This way only the folks who do manuscripts and special collections cataloging need to work with the Alma metadata editor directly.

I'd be interested to hear others' ideas!  -k

Hi,

It's exciting to see so many interested.  To help develop the conversation, what type of functionality would you like to see in an integration between Alma and ArchivesSpace?

Best,
Megan

Hi,



We are interested!  At Rutgers earlier this year we developed a reference architecture for our Special Collections.  We tested the reference architecture by creating an implementation architecture using Alma, Primo, ArchiveSpace and a generic repository framework.  In June we migrated to Alma so we will be looking to integrate ArchiveSpace with Alma in the near future using our the reference architecture as a blue print.  I’ll see if I can share that reference architecture with the group.



Best,

Chad

Hi,



We us Alma as our library ILS here, so we have been looking at the possibility of integrating Alma and ArchivesSpace.  I was curious if anyone else is interested in this type of integration and if there is any work being done?



Thanks!

Megan
