[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Alma Integration

[Emily Pyers]

Hullo, State Library Victoria is very interested in this.  We’re running Primo and Voyager at present, but are currently looking at potential replacements for Voyager – unsurprisingly, Alma is a strong contender.

Centralising our search is pretty crucial too – we’ve integrated a lot of our workflows and it doesn’t make sense to our staff to have to search another interface for part of our collection – plus, as a cultural institution, our archival collections are one of our biggest points of difference and we really want them to be front and centre for the user as well.  Very interested to hear how other institutions with any integration with a discovery layer, but particularly Primo.

Cheers,

Emily

Hello,

We, here at the Getty Research Institute are also interested in ArchivesSpace/Alma/Primo integration.  We have experimented a bit with the Denver plugin in our Sandbox environment.  Currently, we are indexing the full-text of our EADs in Primo.  We may also be interested in exploring the interplay between Alma bibliographic/holdings/items records and resource records/instances in ArchivesSpace.


Thanks,

Ryan

Hi All,

At Houghton Library, part of the Harvard Library, we too are interested in ArchivesSpace/Alma integration.

In terms of functionality for resource description, we looked a bit at the Denver plug-in and like the type of data exchange it offers between the ArchivesSpace resource record and the Alma Bib and Holdings records using the MMS ID. We could also envision the exchange working the other way, starting from the Alma record and looking to ArchivesSpace for a resource record with that MMS ID (in a locally specified field), creating a resource if non-existent or updating if existent.

We would also like to think through subject and agent access points and keeping those up-to-date in both systems (using URIs), and optimally, up-to-date with the authority file (functionality that Alma currently offers).

Lastly, exchanging and maintaining container inventories and barcodes (instances in ArchivesSpace and item records in Alma) across the systems is another area of functionality we’d like to explore.

We’d like to host a conference call for interested parties. Can folks respond if they are interested in taking part? If there’s enough momentum, I’ll send around a Doodle poll with some available times.

Best wishes,
Adrien, Susan, and Vernica
Houghton Library

Hi all,

Attached is the reference architecture and test/sample implementation architecture we developed at Rutgers.  We have not implemented this yet.

Best,
Chad

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
