<div>Hello all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Locally at Harvard, there's a desire to have a revision statement be added to records when imported into ArchivesSpace from EAD. Our rationale is that import into ArchivesSpace from other systems/formats is a significant event in the lifetime of the record,
and that it's appropriate to track it in record content as well as in the creation time of the db record.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If there's general approval of the idea, I can package up our code so it can be added to ArchivesSpace proper, and make it available as a plugin. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, we plan to add a revision statement reading "Imported into ArchivesSpace" or "Imported into ArchivesSpace via conversion from ${converter_type}." </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Github issue discussing this is here: <a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/issues/527">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/issues/527</a></div>
