<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I recommend reviewing Elizabeth Dunham and Xaviera Flores's excellent article in American Archivist, Volume 77, Issue 2 (Fall/Winter 2014), pages 499-509, titled
<i><span style="background:white">Breaking the Language Barrier: Describing Chicano Archives with Bilingual Finding Aids</span></i><span style="background:white">. Their article does not specifically discuss ArchivesSpace, but having just presented at SAA 2015
with Elizabeth I am aware she has implemented ASpace at Arizona State University’s Archives and Special Collections.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As American society becomes more diverse, archivists increasingly work with multilingual collections and patrons. In Arizona, this situation occurs most frequently with
materials created by individuals and communities using Spanish as their primary language. This case study discusses Arizona State University’s creation of English and Spanish finding aids for six collections processed as part of a Council on Library and Information
Resources grant. It describes the process of creating a Spanish finding aid template; reviews the challenges encountered and solutions designed while translating, encoding, and publishing Spanish guides; and analyzes use of the final documents.<span style="background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We just received a collection that includes a lot of material in Spanish. Do any of you have experience with how ASpace handles diacritics? I searched the listserv archives, but didn’t see too much.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">A plug-in for dropdown diacritic options would be awesome…like how cataloging software handles it. Otherwise, are people copying and pasting for Word or another program that allows for diacritic input?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
