[Archivesspace_Users_Group] [External] [External] Folder labels from ArchivesSpace collections

Wed May 17 10:18:59 EDT 2023

Hey Paul

Took a quick look at the code and right now its a bit of a mishmash. The AO title is drawn from the AO itself, so would be unique to the folder/item. But the other data (including agents) is built from whatever collection data is linked to the top container. Dates are not included right now.

A lot of the plugin functionality is predicated on our local practices, so it has a bunch of assumptions about workflow, etc.

I think it'd be pretty straightforward to adapt this to do what you are looking for since the main lift would be assembling the label data (in backend/model/label_data.rb: https://github.com/dartmouth-dltg/container_management_labels/blob/as330/backend/model/label_data.rb)

Not sure what your institution's capacity for development is, but I'm happy to think about updating the plugin if you (and anyone else!) have specific ideas that seem useful. That would be on an 'as I can' sort of timeline. If you do have dev capacity, please feel free to fork, add pull requests, or whatever works for you.

Best,
Joshua

Hi Joshua,

If I understand correctly, the subcontainer labels would convey the same information as the top container labels, including information concatenated just like the top container labels, but one for each folder/item etc. (depending on config) associated with the top container?

If so, it sounds like this may not be what we're looking for. We would like to produce individual labels for archival objects with their individual archival object title, agent(s), date(s), etc.

Thank you,
Paul

Hey Paul

If memory serves, the top container and sub container fields and field order are both governed by the same config setting, so you (right now) can't have differing fields or order. I'll need to double check the code to be sure, though.

Best,
Joshua

Hi Joshua,

Thank you very much - this was the plugin I was (imprecisely) referring to. We're going to try this out.

It would require us to add top containers to lots of records that don't currently have them attached - obviously part of the original intent of the plugin but something we don't have universally.

Is it possible to configure the fields and their order for the subcontainer labels? I see this for the top container labels, but not in the documentation for subcontainers.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul and everyone

There's also this plugin that I maintain that allows you to print file labels from the browser. It requires knowing some CSS to specify the label dimensions, but it does allow you to print file and/or container labels: https://github.com/dartmouth-dltg/container_management_labels<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_dartmouth-2Ddltg_container-5Fmanagement-5Flabels&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=70gVc8PkZ8LRd0WR_N4Lh2vwCTUp-4jc9IXouEpQ4Go&m=wwV3BzEYEttfqoMGOliNGA62oK6FcLRDgqGOezIHO4I&s=DYn9MJ3-6M36JEzGU4qOXQzwa3o76ZVjKZhnx0LiMqM&e=> Technically there's no reason you couldn't print any AO level label with the plugin, though in practice I've only tested/done it with file level AOs.

Best,
Joshua

Paul,

I haven’t tried this yet but the documentation makes it look promising:  https://files.library.northwestern.edu/public/ArchiveLabels/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__files.library.northwestern.edu_public_ArchiveLabels_&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=70gVc8PkZ8LRd0WR_N4Lh2vwCTUp-4jc9IXouEpQ4Go&m=wwV3BzEYEttfqoMGOliNGA62oK6FcLRDgqGOezIHO4I&s=9I75Wb-ci4Fib3rsFoGt3tjxDAbX0ZfESWEedA1HGpA&e=>

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Folder labels from ArchivesSpace collections

Hi all,

I'm wondering how people go about making folder labels from their ArchivesSpace collections. We tend to include an archival object's title, agents, etc. in center labels, and its context (collection name, call number, series) in a label to the left.

Until now we've been using a custom EAD transformation to a PDF label template, which is becoming internally obsolete, so we're looking for new methods. I just posted separately asking if anyone is producing CSV exports of all objects under a collection, which would be one approach. Personally I use Word's Mail Merge to populate a label template from a CSV file, but this is not particularly user-friendly. Does anyone have a neater solution they've been using?

Thanks!

Paul

(I'm aware of the Container Labels download - I think this is not applicable for this as this information isn't in the top containers, but perhaps someone's making use of that).
