Where we are and what we are doing now is probably not what most of us expected when the year began. Thank you for being with us, in whatever way you are able. I am writing to report on the ArchivesSpace Governance Board 4th Quarter meeting, a virtual meeting that was conducted on May 21st. The board approved appointments to the Technical Advisory Council and User Advisory Council, and the election slate for the Governance Board. We thanked the Nominating Committee, chaired by John Wilkin, for their careful and hard work. John will send out an announcement of all of the appointments once the process is complete. We reviewed: * an operations report which highlighted the many COVID-19 related activities that the ArchivesSpace team is supporting for the larger archival community during this challenging time * a financial report that confirmed we are on budget * the continued excellent work of TAC and UAC and thanked the members for their dedicated participation We discussed membership renewal efforts underway to ensure we can continue to support the larger community and continued advancement of the software. This will be my last message to the community as Board Chair as my one-year term ends June 30, 2020. I have been privileged to serve in this role. Nick Zmijewski will serve as the next Governance Board Chair effective July 1. We are especially pleased to have Nick in this pivotal position as he will be the first representative from the "Very Small" membership level to serve as Chair. Thank you Nick! As we look ahead to a new membership year, while there is much uncertainty and trepidation in our world, there is also much for which to be thankful. What we know for certain for ArchivesSpace is that our community members will continue to support each other, and those we each serve, in many ways. The Board welcomes your communications and comments on anything mentioned here, or anything else related to ArchivesSpace that is of concern or interest to you. _______________________________________ J.

Message-ID: <0FE6819C-014F-4B9D-94CC-55DE0BA83FFE@lyrasis.org> Hi Donnelly, Sorry for a belated reply, but I thought someone else might get to this one sooner. As to the first part of the question ? how to find suppressed records ? I can think of three different ways to go about doing this that each have their pros/cons depending on your setup there, the number of repositories you have, the permissions of various users, and your access to and/or level of comfort with the underlying ArchivesSpace database and/or the API. 1) You can get the Staff interface to return a normal looking set of search results for resources with the status of suppressed by slightly altering the existing URL you get when you do the following: * Browse > Resources * Use the left sidebar to filter to Published * Change the ?published? in the URL to ?suppressed? So, in test.archivesspace.org, I can see all the suppressed records in the YNHSC repository by visiting: http://test.archivesspace.org/staff/resources?filter_term%5B%5D=%7B%22suppressed%22%3A%22true%22%7D This has two drawbacks as far as I can see. 1) the results will be limited to the current repository to which you are logged in; and 2) actually doing something with the list of results could be somewhat manual and require a lot of clicking. But, if you are most comfortable in the staff interface and/or only have access to the staff interface, this might be your best approach. 2) Second, you can go a step further and use the API search endpoints to return a full listing of all the resource records with a suppressed status of true. Assuming the user that you log into the API with has full permissions to view suppressed records across all repositories, this has the added benefit of returning all hits across your entire installation of ArchivesSpace. Similarly, you could build upon this API call to programmatically do the rest of your request ? export the relevant records and/or delete them ? by writing a script that iterates through the results that you get by this initial search request. Obviously, the barrier to entry is higher here, but I suspect many of the API knowledgeable folks and/or folks working on the ArchivesSnake library, or, possibly, others who have done exactly this type of task could get you started on your way and/or share their prior work in this area. A query returning the suppressed records on test.archivesspace.org would look something like this (line breaks added so that it?d be easier to read): http://test.archivesspace.org/staff/api/search?page=1&filter={"query": {"op":"AND", "subqueries":[{"jsonmodel_type":"field_query","field":"primary_type","value":"resource","literal":true}, {"jsonmodel_type":"field_query","field":"suppressed","value":"true","literal":true}],"jsonmodel_type":"boolean_query"}, "jsonmodel_type":"advanced_query"} Note that search results are paged, so if you have a ton of suppressed records, you?ll have to iterate over many pages of results. You can set the page_size (equal to or less what the max_page_size is set to in your config.rb) as an additional parameter to your request. 3) Finally, if you have access to your database (ideally a read-only copy of your database when initially testing) you can use something along the lines of the following sequel query to return all resources with a suppressed status of true (or, in the case of the DB, `1`). This would work across repositories and then, as with option 1 above, you could choose how you wish to proceed with this list from there. SELECT * FROM resource WHERE suppressed=1; Hope others chime in with how they?ve tackled similar projects, and happy to follow up if you have other questions. Best, Lora -- Lora J.

That being said, the appearance of the PDFs are controlled by the as-ead-pdf.xsl stylesheet, and I've noticed in the past that it's really easy for the logos to break for a number of reasons: - if the logo file gets renamed or goes missing during a software update - if you're modifying the stylesheet for other reasons and accidentally comment out, delete, or modify the part that calls for the logo file I don't know if either of those is the case in your application, but I'd start with looking at the stylesheet and logo files and making sure they're all cross-referencing properly.

The public user interface generates its own PDFs, by first building a HTML document using ERB templates, just as it does for ordinary pages. But instead of returning that it stores it as a temporary HTML file, then converts that to a PDF file using a Java library . Then it sends the PDF file to the user. The logo is an /img/ tag with the /src/ attribute using the branding image URL set for the repository of the resource. The HTML-to-PDF library is effectively like a web browser running on the server, viewing a local file, so it needs a full URL, not a path relative to the server root. Or, if the image is hosted on another server, then there must be nothing to block the outgoing HTTP request or returned response. Ask you local network admins if unsure. It doesn't cache the image, so every time a user requests a PDF, the ArchivesSpace server will download the image from wherever you specify. The image must be in a format supported by the HTML-to-PDF library, but I can't find a list. Standard PNGs work. Because it uses templates, you can override the relevant file (_titlepage.html.erb) in a plug-in, and make it display whatever you want (such as the logo for your whole organization, if you don't want PDFs branded differently per repository, or no logo at all if you just want text.) But it also contains code to add the other things on the first page, so if you override it you might have to update it when upgrading to a future release. Andrew.

We've been thinking about the good that archives do, all the while mindful that archives and software applications are not neutral, and are themselves capable of perpetuating structures that harm or silence. We've been thinking about the part that ArchivesSpace can play in making progress in these often disheartening times. We've been specifically thinking of ways ArchivesSpace can support and amplify those that document and empower individuals, organizations and communities that work to make the world a more inclusive place. We've also been thinking about how ArchivesSpace itself can be more inclusive. We've come up with a few ideas so far like subsidizing memberships and deployments for some community archives, tribal archives, and grassroots organizations; convening a working group to examine unconscious bias and barriers to entry in the ArchivesSpace application; and working with organizations and groups that help others understand ethical collecting and archival description to identify best practices for using (or not using) ArchivesSpace. We've started a running list for discussion at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b-GlCSObflqZufIiN4dJ__hlppwPloHXzytsUEVlZp4/edit?usp=sharing. What we want most is to hear your ideas. We're going to devote our next open call on June 24 to these issues, and we also want to consider ways we can incorporate them more organically into our ongoing programming and our users' experience of ArchivesSpace. Please come with your thoughts, questions, and suggestions. And please reach out to us at any time. We welcome your participation in any form. We're so proud that the ArchivesSpace community reflects many different kinds of archives, serving many different communities. We're so proud that our members range from entirely volunteer-run non-profit organizations to some of the largest academic archives in the world. We truly appreciate the many different viewpoints represented by the collections people manage in ArchivesSpace, and the many different viewpoints of the people who manage these collections in ArchivesSpace. We believe our community can become even richer by drawing in more viewpoints. We're also mindful that many of us have been pushed to or past our limits already, not only by the events of recent months but also by the different challenges we each face even in the best of times. We recognize that none of us carries the same load, but that some of us go through life with one that is heavier than others. While we have no delusions about the role of an archival information management system in the grand scheme of things, in the end we hope to in some small way contribute to making those loads lighter, not heavier. Thank you for the part you play in that and for being with us at this incredibly challenging time. We wish you health, safety, and solace as, like us, you grapple with how best to navigate this world with those you love and make it better.

Original Problem. Not able to find recently created Resource records. Through search or browse. I can get to the resources through linked accession records so they are saved but not listing in browse nor are they showing up in a search.. Theory 1 First theory was that we needed to reindex. I asked our IT department to delete the sole_index and Indexer_state files and restart ArchiveSpace. They did that and when I logged in there were no records in the database. We restored from back up. Theory 2 In the meantime I have discovered that it is not just recently created Resource records that are not findable. Any thing recently created is not findable, accessions, containers, or subjects. Any modifications to older resources is are saved, but the resource record is not recording that the modification happened. In other words. The last modification date does not take into account recent modifications even though the modifications have been saved. Which makes me think this is a problem with timestamps for when records are created or modified and I really don?t know where to go from there. If it is a reindexing problem I need to know what I did wrong in trying to reindex. If it is a timestamp creation problem?I?m not sure where to start.

When I was at Harvard, we noticed that sometimes the indexer would hit a error, then just restart (hitting the same error, restarting, shampoo, rinse, repeat). This means that anything that needed to be indexed past the point of the error didn't get indexed. Hope this helps.

This open call will be devoted to a discussion of ways ArchivesSpace can support and amplify efforts around antiracism and inclusion, and how ArchivesSpace itself can be more inclusive. We also want to consider how we can incorporate these considerations more organically into our ongoing programming and our users' experience of ArchivesSpace. We've come up with a few ideas. What we want most is to hear your ideas. The running list for discussion is at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b-GlCSObflqZufIiN4dJ__hlppwPloHXzytsUEVlZp4/edit?usp=sharing. Please feel free to add to or comment on this list in advance of the call or simply join us on the 24th with your thoughts, questions, and suggestions. In order to better facilitate this conversation, an anonymous chat feature will be offered during the call. The call will not be recorded. Whether you can be at the call or not, please reach out to us at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org at any time. We welcome your participation in any form.

With no set agenda or presentation for these calls, this forum is an opportunity to connect, chat and recharge. Use this as a time to get help or talk about ArchivesSpace (or anything else) in an informal setting or just have a beverage with other ArchivesSpace users during this stressful time. Most of us are doing our jobs under much different conditions than usual. As a browser based system you can access from anywhere, the ArchivesSpace application may offer a sense of archival normalcy as we each adjust. And with a welcoming and robust member community all over the world, ArchivesSpace can also offer camaraderie when many of us may feel isolated from our colleagues or the professional communities we interact with regularly. Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for a great chat. We hope to see you all tomorrow. When: Fridays Time: 12:00 p.m. ? 1:00 p.m. ET (9:00 a.m. ? 10:00 a.m. PT) Where: Zoom Join the call via the information below: Join Zoom Meeting https://lyrasis.zoom.us/j/281962467 Meeting ID: 281 962 467 One tap mobile +19292056099,,281962467# US (New York) +13126266799,,281962467# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 301 715 8592 US +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US 888 475 4499 US Toll-free 877 853 5257 US Toll-free Meeting ID: 281 962 467 Find your local number: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/u/awkFNWPxh We seek to provide a welcoming, fun, and safe community experience for everyone and adhere to Code4Lib?s CodeofConduct4Lib.

In the interest of continuing to evolve ArchivesSpace?s public user interface to be as user-friendly as possible, User Advisory Council?s Usability Subteam has prepared this draft report which identifies common themes from user-submitted feature request tickets, existing usability studies, and compiles examples of customizations that repositories have taken to address these topics. We hope to hold a webinar or open call in the future to continue to gather community feedback on these ideas. There are many possible paths forward, so the goal is to build consensus on a desired direction to continue to evolve the Collection Organization view of the PUI. We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to comment in this doc or email me at ltang5 at msu.edu by the end of this month. Thanks for your help and feedback!

Probably there's an agent (person) record linked to that user account so the account cannot be deleted. You can delete the agent record first, then the user -- that should work. Careful, sometimes you need that agent record. In that case I'd suggest disabling the account by resetting the password to something long and random so the account cannot be used (and perhaps add "DISABLED" to "Additional Contact Information" as a note). ________________________________ From: archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org > on behalf of Clayton Joseph Ruminski > Sent: Thursday, June 4, 2020 3:42 PM To: archivesspace_users_group at lyralists.lyrasis.org > Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Error deleting agents Hello, We are doing some data cleanup in ASpace, and one agent in particular is giving me the following error when trying to delete it: Record deletion failed: Java::ComMysqlJdbcExceptionsJdbc4::MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`archivesspace`.`user`, CONSTRAINT `user_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`agent_record_id`) REFERENCES `agent_person` (`id`)) I looked on the user group archives but was unable to find an answer.

Hopefully a Mac version will be coming soon. It does not batch import records into ArchivesSpace, as ASpace does that with background jobs already.

We have received many responses to better understand and support the needs of our community. Since the input we have received has been valuable we have decided to extend our survey deadline to June 26, 2020 at 5:00 Eastern time. Please discuss any special needs or concerns related to the pandemic with your colleagues before completing the survey, as we hope to have one survey representing a single institution, and not multiple surveys from a single site. The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3T5V5JN. We estimate the survey will take 15 minutes to complete. Confidentiality: Your responses are being collected and analyzed by LYRASIS, an independent, nonprofit, membership organization serving archives, libraries, and museums. They will be kept confidential. Only aggregate results will be reported. Please answer these questions to help us learn about your current practices and needs. To submit your answers, you must click on the "Submit Your Responses" button at the end of the survey form. If you have any questions, please contact me at katy.klettlinger at lyrasis.org. Thank you for your support of this important project; we look forward to sharing what we discover with the archival community. Many thanks, Katy Katy L. W.

Just as in previous years, this free event is a chance for ArchivesSpace members to come together to highlight the work they are doing in ArchivesSpace, show off new plugins or tools they?ve developed, and attend workshops and trainings on a variety of topics. As with our previous Annual Member Forums, it is being held in conjunction with the Society of American Archivists annual meeting, but it is not part of SAA and does not require registration for the SAA Annual Meeting. Presentations and breakout discussions will be held on August 3-4, 2020, and all individuals from ArchivesSpace member institutions are welcome to attend some or all of the sessions on these days. Small workshops covering specific elements of the ArchivesSpace application will be offered August 5-7, 2020. These workshops will be limited to 25 participants per workshop. The event wiki and registrations will be made available soon, but for now we are looking for presenters and discussion leaders for August 3-4, 2020. Anything related to ArchivesSpace is fair game. We are specifically interested in presentations or topics related to managing others using ArchivesSpace, how you or your institution have adapted your use of ArchivesSpace during COVID-19, and any plugin or tool you?ve developed that you?d like to show off. There is a short Google form for proposals available at https://forms.gle/DsZNqe2cANy5mS4S7. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The last day that proposals will be accepted is July 15, 2020, and all notifications will be made by July 22, 2020. If you have any questions or other suggestions at this point, please feel free to email Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org. We look forward to ?seeing? you soon!

From a practical standpoint, you have these options: 1. Change the EAD pre-migration 2. Change the data in Aspace 3. Live with the data like that (your cost of cleaning v living with it may vary, but it is worth having the discussion. My repository had some issues we decided to live with and some we decided to fix.) Option 1 works if you have consistency in the choices folks have made in finding aids. Unfortunately at Harvard, for some repositories text like ?Box 3-4? referred to a single box with the identifier 3-4, and not to ?Box 3 and Box 4?. Thus, we could not implement a single script that would work for all cases. We were also constrained by time and could not implement scripted solutions across sub-sets of our corpus. However? Individual repositories did implement changes in their own ways. We had very few of these ?box range? type of finding aids, so I (OK, I know this is a really crude, sledgehammer type of method!) ? Got the subset of finding aid that have this issue (granted, this can be some task in itself) ? Put them in their own directory ?

Then you'd just have another option in the drop-down in the import job form, and no need to pre-process. But that would require both Ruby skills and an understanding of the ArchivesSpace data model for containers. I'd say even a complete novice with XSLT would find it easier to learning enough to tweak the Yale example that Adrien has given below. And it produces EAD you can view, validate and import on a test system to check the effects. We do both, but only use the plugin when changing the EAD has no effect (e.g. to alter how agents get roles, or the rules for whether a certain note is published.) Andrew.

I've never tried it myself, but it looks like you'd need to find the ID number of the preference record for the repository you want to change, download its JSON data structure, add those seven collection management browse columns reconfigured however you wish, and send it back. But you could only add the following: processing_funding_source, processors, publish (true/false), audit_info (created/last-modified). Otherwise, you could raise an issue requesting future versions of ArchivesSpace either have the ability to customize collection management columns via the staff interface, or to change the defaults to include what you think is missing.

When we joined, they created our ?real? repository, which I am still using. When I go to Manage Repositories (signed in as Admin), the test repository is still listed, but I am unable to view or edit it. I get a Record Not Found message. There is one, incomplete, finding aid in the test repository, that is still accessible via the public interface. Is there a way I can gain access to the test repository, or at least get rid of the incomplete finding aid?

Harrington or Roy S. Harrington?: How to Make Technology Work for You In an ArchivesSpace Data Cleanup Project Message-ID: <336EBC79-0516-419B-A861-DE9DA06A74C8@lyrasis.org> Dear ArchivesSpace Users, ArchivesSpace will be offering another webinar focusing on ArchivesSpace data cleanup projects that can be accomplished in a work from home environment on Wednesday, July 8, at 2pm ET. Most of us are doing our jobs under much different conditions than usual. As a browser-based system you can access from anywhere, ArchivesSpace is a tool that can be used when working remotely and many ArchivesSpace users are finding themselves executing large scale data cleanup projects that have only recently been prioritized. Title: Is It Roy E. Harrington or Roy S. Harrington?: How to Make Technology Work for You In an ArchivesSpace Data Cleanup Project When: July 8, 2020 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? 12:00pm PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T5x0GFR8QHicozJwCsm05Q In order to provide a secure webinar experience and ensure adequate space in our Zoom environment, registration is now required for our webinars. Our webinars continue to be free and open to anyone using or interested in ArchivesSpace. Webinar description: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Three processing archivists from the Rockefeller Archive Center will discuss collaborative approaches to mass data cleanup in ArchivesSpace. Presenters will share how they planned, reassessed, and executed various automated and manual processes for enhancing the quality of their institution?s descriptive data. This data includes agent records, dates, and access restriction notes. This discussion is based off of the RAC ArchivesSpace Cleanup blog series. Webinar presenters: Amy Berish is an Archivist at the Rockefeller Archive Center where she works as a member of the Processing team. Aside from processing incoming collections, she also contributes to various digital projects. Amy holds a Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh. Katie Martin is an Assistant Archivist at the Rockefeller Archive Center where she processes collections of the Ford Foundation and works on projects with the digital team. She earned degrees in History and American Studies from Purdue University and received her MLS with a specialization in archives and records management from Indiana University. Darren Young is an Assistant Archivist at the Rockefeller Archive Center where he processes collections of the Ford Foundation and collaborates with the digital team on select projects. He earned a BA degree with majors in English Literature and History at the University of Connecticut and received his MLIS with a concentration in Archives Management from Simmons College (now Simmons University). Who should attend: While this webinar will focus on projects that can be undertaken in a work from home environment, this webinar will be useful to any archivist focusing on data cleanup in ArchivesSpace, those needing to export data out of ArchivesSpace and archivists working with legacy data.

In the interest of continuing to evolve ArchivesSpace?s public user interface to be as user-friendly as possible, User Advisory Council?s Usability Subteam has prepared this draft report which identifies common themes from user-submitted feature request tickets, existing usability studies, and compiles examples of customizations that repositories have taken to address these topics. We hope to hold a webinar or open call in the future to continue to gather community feedback on these ideas. There are many possible paths forward, so the goal is to build consensus on a desired direction to continue to evolve the Collection Organization view of the PUI. We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to comment in this doc or email me at ltang5 at msu.edu by the end of this month. Thanks for your help and feedback!

Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2020 9:55 AM To: Archivesspace Users Group Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top container ranges What Dave said. >From a practical standpoint, you have these options: 1. Change the EAD pre-migration 2. Change the data in Aspace 3. Live with the data like that (your cost of cleaning v living with it may vary, but it is worth having the discussion. My repository had some issues we decided to live with and some we decided to fix.) Option 1 works if you have consistency in the choices folks have made in finding aids. Unfortunately at Harvard, for some repositories text like "Box 3-4" referred to a single box with the identifier 3-4, and not to "Box 3 and Box 4". Thus, we could not implement a single script that would work for all cases. We were also constrained by time and could not implement scripted solutions across sub-sets of our corpus. However... Individual repositories did implement changes in their own ways. We had very few of these "box range" type of finding aids, so I (OK, I know this is a really crude, sledgehammer type of method!) * Got the subset of finding aid that have this issue (granted, this can be some task in itself) * Put them in their own directory * Used regex find-and-replace (taking great care, of course to do no harm by accident) in either my favorite text editor or oXygen to find-and-replace all instances of the problem * Double-checked that they were all still valid * Spot-checked the results Your mileage and access to a real programmer for stuff like this may vary.

Using an XML database like eXist-db or BaseX with XPath/XQuery was invaluable when doing analysis of issues and of the impact of changes 2. One of the tools I wrote, the EAD Checker, is available online: https://eadchecker.lib.harvard.edu - it doesn't catch this specific issue, but it does catch a bunch of issues, some of which cause corrupted data rather than failure to import. -- Dave Mayo (he/him) Senior Digital Library Software Engineer Harvard University > HUIT > LTS From: > on behalf of "Mayo, Dave" > Reply-To: Archivesspace Users Group > Date: Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 9:23 AM To: Archivesspace Users Group > Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top container ranges So, with the caveat that we put a lot of resources (a bunch of archivists' time, a full year of a full time developer (me!)), we had very solid results; I think remediating issues prior to import is almost always worth the expense of significant effort, particularly over a large corpus. My main advice would be to be very, very careful about changes - version your EADs, compare before and after scripts run, and in general be very systematic about how you find, report, and correct changes. I don't know if you've seen it, but Kate Bowers and I did a write-up of what we did during our migration - it has links to a number of open source tools I wrote for doing this kind of work. They're a bit involved to get running, but they definitely work at basically any scale out there, and I'm happy to help people get started with them. https://journal.code4lib.org/articles/12239 -- Dave Mayo (he/him) Senior Digital Library Software Engineer Harvard University > HUIT > LTS From: > on behalf of "Lucas, Dawne Howard" > Reply-To: Archivesspace Users Group > Date: Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 9:12 AM To: Archivesspace Users Group > Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top container ranges Thanks, Dave. I guess I should have specified that changing the EAD isn't a viable solution for us unless it's automated. We do not plan to edit individual finding aids manually except in cases where the ranges aren't regular. If you've done this at Harvard, have there been any drawbacks? Anything we should be looking to avoid? Thanks again, Dawne From: Mayo, Dave Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2020 9:04 AM To: Archivesspace Users Group Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top container ranges The two options I see here are essentially: 1. Change the EAD 2. Change the containers after they're ingested. Of the two, changing the EAD seems _easier_ to me; if you wouldn't mind going more into why that's not a viable solution for you, it might help us provide better advice? Either way, at 7000 finding aids, the solution would basically need to be automated - if your box ranges are very regular (i.e. only single number or range, no "3,4,7-10" or similar), it wouldn't be too difficult - split the range on '-', generate list of numbers, replace container with multiple containers. -- Dave Mayo (he/him) Senior Digital Library Software Engineer Harvard University > HUIT > LTS From: > on behalf of "Lucas, Dawne Howard" > Reply-To: Archivesspace Users Group > Date: Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 8:13 AM To: Archivesspace Users Group > Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top container ranges Hi all, We are formulating a plan to import our 7000+ EAD finding aids into ArchivesSpace and are wondering how other institutions have handled top container ranges. For example, we have finding aids coded like this: 3-4Photographs This imports into ASpace just fine (yay!), but of course also creates a top container for Box 3-4 instead of Box 3 and Box 4 (boo!). We assume this will be an issue later when we integrate with Aeon. The most obvious solution to this problem appears to be to change the encoding to: 3Photographs 4 Photographs For several reasons, this is not a viable solution for us. Have other institutions figured out a way to deal with this issue that does not include editing the EAD in individual finding aids?

With no set agenda or presentation for these calls, this forum is an opportunity to connect, chat and recharge. Use this as a time to get help or talk about ArchivesSpace (or anything else) in an informal setting or just have a beverage with other ArchivesSpace users during this stressful time. Most of us are doing our jobs under much different conditions than usual. As a browser based system you can access from anywhere, the ArchivesSpace application may offer a sense of archival normalcy as we each adjust. And with a welcoming and robust member community all over the world, ArchivesSpace can also offer camaraderie when many of us may feel isolated from our colleagues or the professional communities we interact with regularly. We look forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow.

We really appreciated the discussion and the many ideas that were offered. If you were unable to attend the call, notes from the call that include the ideas and the slides can be found at: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/1362296880/2020-6-24+Meeting+notes+-+Open+call+on+how+ArchivesSpace+can+amplify+and+support+efforts+around+antiracism+and+inclusion. Some ideas that have emerged from these discussions might be relatively simple to implement, while others would require significant community discussion and collaboration, including involvement of the ArchivesSpace Governance Board. We will be circulating a survey soon to solicit comments on the ideas so far. This survey will not be intended as a way to vote or decide on any particular initiative but rather to generate more feedback from the community and help shape some paths forward. Please reach out to us at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org at any time with comments or suggestions. We welcome your participation in any form. We look forward to continuing to come together to better support and amplify this very important work across our community.

Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 18:45:00 +0000 Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] human readable URLs -- translation missing resource Message-ID: When implementing human readable URLs, did anyone see this in the staff interface beside the new field labels? 'translation missing resource: public_url' and 'translation missing resource: slug' It should only say public_url and slug. Thank you for any tips. Of the available options, we changed these two items from false to true. use_human_readable_URLs - determines whether the options for creating human-readable URLs are shown in the staff interface and whether the URL shown in the public user interface for a record is the human-readable URL. (In order to prevent broken links, if this option was turned on at one time and then was turned off, the slugs created during that time remain in the records and the associated URLs will still work, but they will not be visible or editable through the staff interface. Only if the slugs are removed from the records will those URLs cease to work.) auto_generate_slugs_with_id - by default, auto-generated slugs are based on the name or title in the record. If you choose this option, records with meaningful identifiers (like accessions and resources) will have slugs based on those IDs. Within this configuration there are two additional options.

Each webinar in this series highlights an integration with another application used in archives that ArchivesSpace members have worked on or requested. Our ninth webinar in this series will discuss integration with Drupal 8 and Islandora at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. When: July 15, 2020 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? noon PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9yfEhfHqR5exk5YUazX1hA In order to provide a secure webinar experience and ensure adequate space in our Zoom environment, registration is now required for our webinars. Our webinars continue to be free and open to anyone using or interested in ArchivesSpace. Webinar description: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Seth Shaw will present an ArchivesSpace integration with Drupal 8. Drupal is a popular Content Management System widely used for building websites and is the foundational component of the popular Islandora 8 repository software. The ArchivesSpace Drupal module (https://www.drupal.org/project/archivesspace) allows Drupal and Islandora-based websites to present archival descriptions harvested from the ArchivesSpace API. This integration allows special collections and archives to build a single integrated interface combining both archival description from ArchivesSpace and digital objects in an Islandora 8 repository. This webinar will demonstrate how the integration works and how it can be used with Islandora 8. It will also demonstrate how it is being used at the UNLV Special Collections and Archives in their forthcoming repository site. Webinar Presenter: Seth Shaw is an Application Developer for UNLV Libraries dedicated to Special Collections and Archives. Previously, he was the Electronic Records Archivist for Duke University and an Assistant Professor of Archival Studies at Clayton State University. He has been developing IT solutions for special collections and archives, off and on, since his days as an undergraduate student. Who should attend: Anyone interested in learning more about using ArchivesSpace with both Drupal and Islandora, integrating Drupal and ArchivesSpace or who has already developed an integration for working with Islandora and ArchivesSpace. Questions? Contact Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org if you have questions about this webinar or the Integrations with ArchivesSpace webinar series.

Call for Speakers for the 6th Annual ArchivesSpace Member Forum ArchivesSpace will be holding its sixth Annual Member Forum virtually on August 3-7, 2020, from 12pm-3pm ET each day via Zoom. Just as in previous years, this free event is a chance for ArchivesSpace members to come together to highlight the work they are doing in ArchivesSpace, show off new plugins or tools they?ve developed, and attend workshops and trainings on a variety of topics. As with our previous Annual Member Forums, it is being held in conjunction with the Society of American Archivists annual meeting, but it is not part of SAA and does not require registration for the SAA Annual Meeting. Presentations and breakout discussions will be held on August 3-4, 2020, and all individuals from ArchivesSpace member institutions are welcome to attend some or all of the sessions on these days. Small workshops covering specific elements of the ArchivesSpace application will be offered August 5-7, 2020. These workshops will be limited to 25 participants per workshop. The event wiki and registrations will be made available soon, but for now we are looking for presenters and discussion leaders for August 3-4, 2020. Anything related to ArchivesSpace is fair game. We are specifically interested in presentations or topics related to managing others using ArchivesSpace, how you or your institution have adapted your use of ArchivesSpace during COVID-19, and any plugin or tool you?ve developed that you?d like to show off. There is a short Google form for proposals available at https://forms.gle/DsZNqe2cANy5mS4S7. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The last day that proposals will be accepted is July 15, 2020, and all notifications will be made by July 22, 2020. If you have any questions or other suggestions at this point, please feel free to email Jessica at jessica.crouch at lyrasis.org. Upcoming Webinar - Is It Roy E. Harrington or Roy S. Harrington?: How to Make Technology Work for You In an ArchivesSpace Data Cleanup Project ArchivesSpace will be offering another webinar focusing on ArchivesSpace data cleanup projects that can be accomplished in a work from home environment on Wednesday, July 8, at 2pm ET. Most of us are doing our jobs under much different conditions than usual. As a browser-based system you can access from anywhere, ArchivesSpace is a tool that can be used when working remotely and many ArchivesSpace users are finding themselves executing large scale data cleanup projects that have only recently been prioritized.

Upcoming Webinar - Integrating ArchivesSpace with Drupal and Islandora at University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries The next webinar in the Integrations with ArchivesSpace series will be Wednesday, July 15, at 2pm ET. Each webinar in this series highlights an integration with another application used in archives that ArchivesSpace members have worked on or requested. Our ninth webinar in this series will discuss integration with Drupal 8 and Islandora at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. When: July 15, 2020 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? noon PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9yfEhfHqR5exk5YUazX1hA In order to provide a secure webinar experience and ensure adequate space in our Zoom environment, registration is now required for our webinars. Our webinars continue to be free and open to anyone using or interested in ArchivesSpace. Webinar description: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Seth Shaw will present an ArchivesSpace integration with Drupal 8. Drupal is a popular Content Management System widely used for building websites and is the foundational component of the popular Islandora 8 repository software. The ArchivesSpace Drupal module (https://www.drupal.org/project/archivesspace) allows Drupal and Islandora-based websites to present archival descriptions harvested from the ArchivesSpace API. This integration allows special collections and archives to build a single integrated interface combining both archival description from ArchivesSpace and digital objects in an Islandora 8 repository. This webinar will demonstrate how the integration works and how it can be used with Islandora 8. It will also demonstrate how it is being used at the UNLV Special Collections and Archives in their forthcoming repository site. Webinar Presenter: Seth Shaw is an Application Developer for UNLV Libraries dedicated to Special Collections and Archives. Previously, he was the Electronic Records Archivist for Duke University and an Assistant Professor of Archival Studies at Clayton State University. He has been developing IT solutions for special collections and archives, off and on, since his days as an undergraduate student. Who should attend: Anyone interested in learning more about using ArchivesSpace with both Drupal and Islandora, integrating Drupal and ArchivesSpace or who has already developed an integration for working with Islandora and ArchivesSpace. Notes Available from Our Open Call on How ArchivesSpace Can Amplify and Support Efforts around Antiracism and Inclusion Thank you to everyone who attended our June 24 open call discussing ways ArchivesSpace can support and amplify efforts around antiracism and inclusion, and how ArchivesSpace itself can be more inclusive. We really appreciated the discussion and the many ideas that were offered. If you were unable to attend the call, notes from the call that include the ideas and the slides can be found at: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/1362296880/2020-6-24+Meeting+notes+-+Open+call+on+how+ArchivesSpace+can+amplify+and+support+efforts+around+antiracism+and+inclusion. Some ideas that have emerged from these discussions might be relatively simple to implement, while others would require significant community discussion and collaboration, including involvement of the ArchivesSpace Governance Board. We will be circulating a survey soon to solicit comments on the ideas so far. This survey will not be intended as a way to vote or decide on any particular initiative but rather to generate more feedback from the community and help shape some paths forward. Please reach out to us at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org at any time with comments or suggestions. We welcome your participation in any form. We look forward to continuing to come together to better support and amplify this very important work across our community.

I am a cataloger (*not* a developer) using the API to update ArchivesSpace. So far I've figured out how to add LCCNs to the authority_Id of Agent records and do a couple more updates that, in retrospect, were pretty simple. The next task I'd like to tackle, however, just seems like maybe it can't be done. We've got a lot of notes with html tags in them and I would like to update those to valid tags. I can get the JSON for the notes in any particular archival object, but I don't know how to specify the route to the note to change it. The JSON looks like this: 'notes': [{'content': ['This is a note with a bad tag'], 'jsonmodel_type': 'note_singlepart', 'persistent_id': '75ba0ec57e374b8b154551a69b4c311f', 'publish': True, 'type': 'abstract'}, {'jsonmodel_type': 'note_multipart', 'persistent_id': '66afa07b3214260078123236bbe1ff27', 'publish': True, 'subnotes': [{'content': 'This is a dippy note.', 'jsonmodel_type': 'note_text', 'publish': True}], 'type': 'scopecontent'}], I got this using the route 'repositories/10/archival_objects/489763', but I don't know how to specify the note that I want in the JSON. For the agent authority_id I used the route ''/agents/people/ and specified the field like this: ['names'][0]['authority_id'] I'm hoping this is an easy question for somebody with more experience with the API and (especially) with JSON than I. I'm a little afraid the answer is that it can't be done. Any advice will be appreciated! Karen Karen D.

So, GET the JSON for the archival_object as you are doing. Then modify the JSON (in this case the notes bit of it) to look how you want. Then POST it back to the same uri. Notes are nested subrecords (as are dates and others). These don?t have a life of their own, they are really just repeating parts of the top level record that they are contained within. Hope that helps..
