<p dir="ltr">Thanks Tom. I really appreciate this. I am going to start looking at a workflow from ArchivesSpace to Islandora.

<p dir="ltr">What is your current workflow for ArchivesSpace to Hydra? Or are those still in the works?

<p dir="ltr">With all of these systems, I am looking for something more streamlined and efficient. Also, I hope that these systems can become less siloed.

<div>I’m not aware of anyone using Hydra as an archival management system that accomplishes the same functions and archival business processes as ArchivesSpace; I guess it could be done, but you’d end up duplicating a lot of the ArchivesSpace logic (and effort).
On the other hand, I know there are a LOT of people looking at integrating their Hydra (and also Islandora) digital repositories with their ASpace instance—digital object management being handled in the former, and archival accessioning and record management
handled in the latter. There have been several discussions (<a href="http://www.diglib.org/forums/2013forum/schedule/ashhl/" target="_blank">like at DLF in 2013</a>) on codifying a set of APIs and interaction patterns that would let each system do what it does best, but still
manage the exchange of information somewhat fluidly across systems. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are also a lot of people who have exported their EAD from a local management system, indexed it, and then presented it with compelling interface—many times with Blacklight (which is a big part of Hydra’s UI). These links have some examples that you
may find useful. </div>

<div>At Stanford we just moved to ArchivesSpace (yay!) in production, and also use Hydra for digital object management, and Blacklight for a lot of search / digital collection viewing needs. As with Kari and Melissa, our plans are to increasingly integrate
ASpace with our repository when the contents of the archival collection include digital objects. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is also a <a href="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/Hydra+Archivists+Interest+Group" target="_blank">Hydra Archivists Interest Group</a> that discusses issues like this on a regular basis, and you may be intrested in joining and tracking the discussions.
(Everyone is welcome regardless of current state of Hydra adoption.)</div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Kari’s thinking is similar to ours (we have both ASpace and Hydra, though ASpace is very new to us). The library ILS is a good metaphor for ASpace and other similar collection management systems—an ILS displays catalog records
to the public, but it also tracks various workflows such as acquisitions and circulation, integrating the physical and intellectual management of the collection with the descriptive metadata. ASpace is designed to do this in a way that is optimized for archival
collections.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We may use Hydra as a front end for our EAD finding aids; we haven’t made that decision yet. If others have workflows for doing so, I’d be very interested to hear about them!</div>

<span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">Managing archival collections is much more than just the EAD finding aid. There is accession information, rights information, location (of digital and physical material), and the need to add notes that are not public
about content or processing, conservation, and other activities that are done on or about the archival materials. ArchivesSpace is a system that allows for the building of this collections management data over time. Displaying the findings aids to the public
is only one function for archival collections management and making those collections available and understandable.</span></div>

It is my understanding that Islandora and Hydra allow for the ingest & display of EAD records in their systems. Finding Aids could then be displayed via this systems. Are there libraries out there that are using both systems, Islandora/Hydra
and ASpace? I do not currently see the benefit of having both systems as they both accomplish similar tasks (creation, ingest, display, maintenance of EAD).</div>
