[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Image hosting for Aspace

Mon Feb 24 13:29:47 EST 2020

Just to be clear, the intent of the original post was to drop a publicly
available, resolvable URI in the appropriate ArchivesSpace digital object
field. Do I have that right?

If that's the case, there's no reason any sufficiently permissive and
addressable web resource couldn't be used; you could make a corpus of files
available and then attach their web addresses to digital objects using API
calls.

Whether this is best practice from a repository management standpoint is
another matter. But as a cheap, relatively frictionless way to make images
available to your admin pages, PUI, and/or ArchivesSpace consumer, it's
very straightforward.

Best, Jason
