Hi everyone,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m looking at the way that the “Rights Transferred Note” in Archivists’ Toolkit migrates to ArchivesSpace, and I think there’s a problem.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m seeing that an event type of “Rights Transferred” is only created if the box is checked, and that the rights transferred note is then part of that event. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But I think that this is a mistake. A repository could write a legitimate “Rights Transferred” note even if the rights WEREN’T transferred, and we wouldn’t want to lose that data.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">See below:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><img height="440" width="640" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" apple-inline="yes" id="06FE0C2D-20DE-49CB-8B0C-DBBF8D0A03DA" src="cid:61665D98-6724-42BE-852A-738430555A46@its.yale.internal" class=""></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In this case, the donor retains copyright, so it would not be appropriate to check the “rights transferred” checkbox. But this means that the note doesn’t come over.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We’re going to figure out some sort of stupid hack to make this work, but I want to make sure that everyone else is aware of this so that data elsewhere isn’t lost.</div>
