ArchivesSpace Update - March 2020
It's an understatement to say that we are living and working through times that many of us never expected. We hope that everyone is safe and urge everyone to do whatever they need to keep themselves and their loved ones safe and healthy.
That said, we recognize that continuing to help the communities we each serve can be a balm when so much around us is different. If you'd like ArchivesSpace to factor into your plans in the coming weeks, here are some ideas for how ArchivesSpace can help you and you can help ArchivesSpace and each other.
(Please note that we're going to make every attempt to keep things rolling along, but keep in mind that the ArchivesSpace team is also adjusting to these new realities and changes in our personal and professional circumstances. Your patience and understanding with us and with each other is much appreciated.)

Upcoming Webinar: Integrating ArchivesSpace with Alma
April 8, 2020, 2-3pm ET (11-noon PT; 7-8pm GMT)
Visit the ArchivesSpace blog for details.<https://archivesspace.org/archives/5998>
ArchivesSpace is pleased to announce the seventh webinar in our series focused on Integrations with ArchivesSpace. This webinar will explore current work being done by the ArchivesSpace community to integrate ArchivesSpace with cloud-based library services platform, Alma<https://www.exlibrisgroup.com/products/alma-library-services-platform/>.
Webinar description:
This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel.
Kevin Clair, Digital Collections Librarian at Penn State University Libraries, will discuss the ArchivesSpace/Alma Integration Plugin he developed during his time at University of Denver. In his current position at Penn State University Libraries, Kevin is the product owner for the cultural heritage digital repository, gathering functional requirements from end users and developing strategies with collection managers to ensure the repository is meeting the needs of faculty, students, and researchers. Prior to this he was the ArchivesSpace product owner at the University of Denver, where he did similar things with different types of content. In both roles he worked to facilitate moving data between library and archival management applications, to reduce the pain and suffering of technical services workers and improve the user experience for researchers.
Adrien Hilton, Head of the Manuscript Section at Harvard University’s Houghton Library, will discuss current workflows at Harvard for managing data in both Alma and ArchivesSpace and what she needs from an integration. Adrien will outline the preliminary work she’s done to gather use cases from other repositories. She hopes to build community support for future Alma/ArchivesSpace development work. In her position at Harvard, Adrien oversees archives processing and manuscript cataloging. Prior to coming to Houghton, Adrien held positions at Columbia University’s Rare Book and Manuscript Library and New York University’s Tamiment Library. Adrien is an advisory member of SAA’s Technical Subcommittee on Describing Archives: A Content Standard.
Who should attend:
Anyone interested in integrating ArchivesSpace and Alma. This webinar will highlight the work already being done by the ArchivesSpace community on this integration with the goal of identifying other stakeholders and a path forward to make this integration more streamlined and robust.

The recording for our sixth webinar in the series, Integrating ArchivesSpace and ARKs, is now available on YouTube. <https://youtu.be/Rt_tZHb1kiA>
Introduction to ArchivesSpace Online Workshop
Thank you to everyone who registered for our upcoming Introduction to ArchivesSpace Online Workshop on April 6-7, 2020. This workshop is currently full but we hope to offer more online training opportunities in the future.
In advance of the training, attendees will receive a copy of the workshop agenda with connection information, the workbook for the workshop and a link to other getting started resources.
If you have questions, please email us at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org.
Take a Break with ArchivesSpace
Whether working from home for the first time, as remote working pros, or as onsite staff, 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.
Beginning Friday, March 20th, we will be hosting casual open calls via zoom at 12pm ET each Friday. We won’t be developing agendas or presentations for these calls. We just want to provide a forum and 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.
When: Fridays
Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET (9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PT)
Where: Zoom
