[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Digital Object Module Use

[Trevor Thornton]

We use digital objects in ArchivesSpace to link archival object records
with both online resources (mostly digitized images and documents on our
digital collections site <https://d.lib.ncsu.edu/collections>) and
corresponding packages (AIPs) in our digital preservation repository.

For materials that are published online, the digital object includes the
item's URL. Our finding aids system uses this URL to access a IIIF manifest
for images published online, which lets us to include linked thumbnail
images within the context of the finding aid - here's an example of that
<https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00456/contents>.

For packages in the preservation repository, we mint a common identifier
(UUID) that is stored in both systems (in the repo and in AS as the digital
object identifier), which allows us to link between them.
