<p class="MsoNormal">Laurie Gemmill Arp, Director, Collections Services & Community Supported Software at LYRASIS, was the co-director (along with CollectionSpace Program Manager Megan Forbes) for the project. Several people represented ArchivesSpace including
Program Manager Christine Di Bella, Technical Lead Laney McGlohon and David Millman from NYU. Christine also contributed a case study for the guidebook about ArchivesSpace community engagement and its growth over the years.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color:black">Being participants in an open source software program yourselves, we thought you may enjoy learning more about how these programs address common challenges and thinking about the opportunities for collaboration
that our involvement in such a project may provide in the future. If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to Laurie or Christine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
