After, ArchivesSpace community member Joshua Shaw will demonstrate the Local Contexts integration plugin<https://github.com/dartmouth-dltg/local_contexts_projects> he developed that integrates Local Contexts Labels and Notices with ArchivesSpace. Feedback from the ArchivesSpace community would be appreciated to ensure that the plugin works for a variety of institutions. Feature requests, bug reports, or suggestions for changes are encouraged. Exports (EAD, EAD3, and MARCXML) are of special interest and suggestions for improvement would be very welcome.
