[Archivesspace_Users_Group] CAIAsoft and ArchivesSpace

[Celia Caust-Ellenbogen]

Hi Stephanie,

We're working on an ArchivesSpace-Alma integration right now, in large part
because this will allow us to take advantage of an existing Alma-Caiasoft
integration. We don't use Aeon. If this sounds interesting to you, let me
know and I'd be happy to connect you with the technical folks here who know
more about those details.

Best,
Celia
