In this webinar, members of the ArchivesSpace program team will provide background information about this necessary change and walk attendees through some considerations for downloading and installing Solr. Webinar: Making the Required Move to External Solr for ArchivesSpace When: November 3, 2021 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? 12:00 pm PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_81SNSMgFTnu6Gmcdf4lO3g This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Webinar description: ArchivesSpace uses Solr for its search platform. Due to necessary upgrades that require moving to external deployment of Solr for the application, beginning in late 2021 deploying ArchivesSpace will require installing and configuring Solr. This change will not affect end users directly, but it will be a significant change for system administrators and others who deploy and manage ArchivesSpace. In this webinar, members of the ArchivesSpace program team will provide some background information about this upcoming change to the way ArchivesSpace is deployed. Team members will then walk attendees through considerations and logistics for downloading and installing Solr at their own institution. An open discussion and Q&A will follow. Who should attend: Anyone who manages their own implementation of ArchivesSpace and anyone planning to upgrade to any version of ArchivesSpace after ArchivesSpace v3.1.x. Please contact us at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org with any questions.

There's stuff I would definitely change about it, but for a semi-hastily put together 20 minute overview of "what is a finding aid?" + "how do I find the stuff?" I think it's okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gryTwRr412g (I am very nervous about posting that link to this group, but I hope it's helpful!) __________________________________ Sarah Newhouse (she, her, hers) Digital Preservation Archivist Othmer Library of Chemical History t. +1.215.873.8249 Science History Institute Chemistry * Engineering * Life Sciences 315 Chestnut Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106 * U.S.A.

Her last day will be November 19. She will be deeply missed by her fellow team members and the ArchivesSpace community. In her nearly four years with ArchivesSpace Lora has been involved in many different aspects of development for the application. A substantial amount of the code in every release since 2018 can be traced back to @lorawoodford, including key features such as container merging and expanded language support. She has also worked on less visible but no less important technical improvements like formalizing the build process for releases, improving automated test coverage, and changing the way our technical documentation is generated. In addition to her development work, Lora has been an invaluable resource for the ArchivesSpace community. Lora is the rare combination of an excellent developer and incredibly knowledgeable archival professional, and we have benefitted from her analytical mind and sharp insights time and time again. Her involvement with the Core Committers group even predates her joining the ArchivesSpace team, and her institutional memory of that group is unsurpassed. LYRASIS, the Organizational Home for ArchivesSpace, will be working to fill this position soon. In the meantime, we will shift our development focus to some infrastructure-focused projects that are already underway. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. We wish Lora well in her future endeavors and look forward to opportunities for our paths to cross in the future. Lora has promised us that this isn't a forever good-bye as she aims to continue to contribute to the ArchivesSpace technical community when possible. We thank her for all she has done to make ArchivesSpace better.

We recently updated to 3.1.0 and afterwards we started getting errors about AS not being able to connect to the database. I tried a re-install of the update, but we're still having the same problem. The odd thing is that if I start AS using the archivesspace.bat file, it works and our data shows correctly via web browser. If I start the service using the command ArchivesSpaceService.exe //TS// it also works correctly. If I restart the service and just let the service come up automatically, all of the pages are there, but it doesn't connect to the database and does not write out to the archivesspace.out. I have deleted and recreated the service a few times trying to solve the problem. Is this a known issue?

Fedora is a community-maintained, open-source, standards-based, and interoperable repository system that supports durable access to digital objects and long-term digital preservation. First released in 1998, it has been adopted over the course of two decades by hundreds of institutions across the globe. The Program Manager will be at the center of one of the signature academy-led and community-driven open-source software programs developed by libraries, archives, and museums, collaborating with a dedicated and engaged leadership team and active user community to spur the migration to or adoption of the recently released version 6 of Fedora. The Program Manager serves as strategic liaison to the Fedora steering group, leadership group, sponsors, service providers, and other stakeholders. Key activities of the role include providing general project oversight, building communication and outreach plans, and coordinating meetings and presentations. Additional work includes assessing and providing guidance regarding community adoption, budget, strategic partnerships, and potential grant activities. Duties will include a wide range of communications and the ability to manage work with agility. If you are someone who enjoys collaboration and solving interesting problems, you will thrive in this role. The Program Manager works with other key staff to oversee essential program processes and performs international outreach to institutions, government organizations, funding agencies, and others. The Program Manager works closely with the Fedora Governance Chairs to ensure smooth oversight of leadership team activities. Even if you are not an expert in digital repositories, the ability to learn, listen, and develop new skills will serve you well in the role. Individuals with excellent communication skills, the ability to interact with a variety of different stakeholders in a global community, and an interest in developing relationships with current and potential community members are encouraged to apply. You should apply even if you don't feel that your credentials are a 100% match with the position description. We are looking for relevant skills and experience, not a checklist that exactly matches the position itself. This position is part of a geographically and institutionally distributed team. Applications from candidates interested in telecommuting and/or a flexible schedule between 75% and full-time are welcome (and eligible for full medical benefits). At LYRASIS, one of our core values is to provide an inclusive environment to all who are employed here. Therefore, the organization is intentional in providing fair and equitable employment opportunities to all applicants, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetics. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training. The full position description is attached. To apply: Please submit your resume and cover letter at https://lyrasis.isolvedhire.com/jobs/465175-25777.html Applications are accepted until the position is filled but review of applications will begin December 15, 2021.

This patch release is primarily intended to fix an issue with reorder mode that was introduced in 3.1.0. It also addresses a few other smaller regressions in the staff and public interfaces. If you have not already upgraded to 3.1.0, we recommend going directly to this release. More information about what's in the release and the link to download it are at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases. Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/administration/upgrading.html. If you have questions or need any assistance, please let us know. We are still working toward the end-of-the-year release that will change the deployment of ArchivesSpace to require external Solr. More information about that move is available on our blog and in the webinar we held on November 3. Expanded documentation and a user tutorial will be put out in advance of that release.

This allows the person doing the data entry to select from an editable enumeration to tag that object with one or more warnings. In the PUI, the plugin will display the tags for the object, or, in the case of archival objects, any tags from parent objects. The PUI also allows you to add a link to an external page describing why the tags are applied and allows you to enable an additional feedback form that would allow users to suggest additional tags. I'll try and get this plugin into a better state that's not quite so specific to our workflows and share the repo url next week.

My sense is that ArchivesSpace is so tied to EAD as a data model that a change to one couldn't happen without a change to the other. Right now it seems to me like the best solution for this would be to write a plugin that looks for either a user-defined text field with the content warning in it, or a general note with a specific label indicating a content warning, and displays it as an alert in the PUI. I'd be curious to hear others' thoughts about this. It's definitely something we would use here. -k ________________________________ From: archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org > on behalf of James E. Cross > Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2021 12:07 PM To: Archivesspace Users Group > Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Warnings for collection content in ArchivesSpace Has anyone suggested a note for ArchivesSpace that would contain content or trigger warnings for the collection being described? The General note would tend to get lost among the other notes and both the Abstract and Scope and Content Notes do not seem to be quite right either. It would also be important that the note be at the beginning of the ArchivesSpace finding aid so a researcher could see it immediately rather than come further in the description (which they might not read).

We've also now gotten this with a couple of different spreadsheets against a few different records. We have not found a spreadsheet that will work as things currently stand. How can I best track down where the issue lies. Might I have an issue with the database? Or just bad data somewhere in this spreadsheet? Is there a way to validate an archivesspace database?

November 2021 Development ArchivesSpace 3.1.1 is now available. This patch release is primarily intended to fix an issue with reorder mode that was introduced in 3.1.0. It also addresses a few other smaller regressions in the staff and public interfaces. If you have not already upgraded to 3.1.0, we recommend going directly to this release. More information about what?s in the release and the link to download it are at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases. Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/administration/upgrading.html. If you have questions or need any assistance, please let us know. We are still working toward the end-of-the-year release that will change the deployment of ArchivesSpace to require external Solr. More information about that move is available on our blog and in the webinar we held on November 3. Expanded documentation and a user tutorial will be put out in advance of that release. Lora Woodford leaves ArchivesSpace It is with regret that we announce that Lora Woodford has left her position as ArchivesSpace Junior Developer to take a position with a government contractor working on open source solutions. Her last day was November 19. She will be deeply missed by her fellow team members and the ArchivesSpace community. In her nearly four years with ArchivesSpace Lora was involved in many different aspects of development for the application. A substantial amount of the code in every release since 2018 can be traced back to @lorawoodford, including key features such as container merging and expanded language support. She also worked on less visible but no less important technical improvements like formalizing the build process for releases, improving automated test coverage, and changing the way our technical documentation is generated. In addition to her development work, Lora has been an invaluable resource for the ArchivesSpace community for years. Lora is the rare combination of an excellent developer and incredibly knowledgeable archival professional, and we have benefitted from her analytical mind and sharp insights time and time again. Her involvement with the Core Committers group even predates her joining the ArchivesSpace team, and her institutional memory of that group is unsurpassed. LYRASIS, the Organizational Home for ArchivesSpace, will be working to fill this position soon. In the meantime, we will shift our development focus to some infrastructure-focused projects that are already underway. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. We wish Lora well in her future endeavors and look forward to opportunities for our paths to cross in the future. Lora has promised us that this isn?t a forever good-bye as she aims to continue to contribute to the ArchivesSpace technical community when possible. We thank her for all she has done to make ArchivesSpace better. Membership Update We are excited to welcome our newest members to our community! Our new members since October 31st include: * Dean College (Franklin, MA) * Minnesota State University Moorhead (Moorhead, MN) * Rensselaerville Historical Society (Rensselaerville, NY) * Stephens College (Columbia, MO) As of November 30, we have 459 General members, 21 Educational Program members, and 3 Registered Service Providers. If you are interested in your institution becoming a member of ArchivesSpace, please email us at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org for more information. ________________________________ ArchivesSpace monthly updates provide news about ArchivesSpace community and program activities and are sent to our member listservs, the ArchivesSpace Google Group, and SAA?s Collection Management Section listserv, as well as being posted on the ArchivesSpace website. Please feel free to share this update with people you know who have an interest in ArchivesSpace but may not be on one of these lists.

That helps. Valerie: I think your suggestion of loading CSV seems like a good one. In my testing, the same data which had problems as an xslx file worked fine as csv. I've suggested that to our group here and will follow up with them to see if that helps get things working better. Hopefully this will be able to be fixed in upcoming versions.
