[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchLight Documentation

[Tom Cramer]

Thanks Steve for this extensive write up on ArcLight.

Two other things to note:

1.) ArcLight is based on Blacklight<http://projectblacklight.org/>, and as such does and should continue to benefit from cross-pollination with Blacklight’s extensive community and ongoing code developments.

2.) ArcLight is still a bit rough around the edges; I’m not aware that anyone has put into production yet, though there are multiple “evaluation” sites live. Several of the institutions that have been active in its development up to now are tentatively planning for another work cycle on it in mid-2019. At Stanford (at least) that is when we would plan to finish up development and move it into a live, production service for all our archival collections.

Of course, as open source software, you could become the first to go into production!

For anyone curious about ArcLight development, here are the communication channels (from the DuraSpace wiki page<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/ArcLight>):

Email list: To get updates or communicate with us about ArcLight, please join the ArcLight Google Group<https://groups.google.com/d/forum/arclight-community> (arclight-community at googlegroups.com<mailto:arclight-community at googlegroups.com>).

Slack channel: To communicate with us more informally, please join the #arclight channel on the Code4l<https://code4lib.slack.com/messages/arclight/>ib Slack team<https://code4lib.slack.com/messages/arclight/>. If you're not on the Code4lib Slack team, you can request an invitation using this form<http://goo.gl/forms/p9Ayz93DgG> or by contacting us via the email list.

I am very interested in learning more about Archlight.
Although I am new to ArchivesSpace dev, I have considerable CMS and IR/digital lib dev experience (and crosswalking/harvesting metadata even with ASpace).
The ArchivesSpace interface is on my list to address as part of my larger site redesign goals.
Thanks,

Hello fellow Archivesspace users,

We are sending this mail out to you because we are currently in the process of doing research in to the best way to use the user-interface of Archivesspace. We would like to use the user-interface not only to present our finding-aids but also those of other institutions in the Netherlands that are complementary to our finding-aids and if possible provide extra information surrounding these Finding-Aids

This brings me to our point. Namely the fact that we recently heard of ArchLight and someone said that would be a good fit for us and our objectives with the staff-interface. We are looking to expand our knowledge when it comes to ArcLight. Using Google to find Archlight brings us to a couple of DuraSpace pages, but that’s it.

Therefore I share the following question/request. Does anyone of you have any experience with ArchLight and if so could you share with us your documentation surrounding ArchLight? We would like to know as much as possible about ArchLight before we start to fiddle around with it. Any links or documents would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for helping us along.

Greetings,

Harm Jager
