<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">ArchivesSpace will be offering a webinar focusing on the upcoming ArchivesSpace v3.0 release and the expanded agent module functionality that is the exclusive focus of this update. While the required fields to
create a valid agent record will remain minimal, the expanded agents functionality will allow for greater compliance with metadata standards used to describe persons, families, and corporate entities like MARCXML authority and EAC-CPF, facilitate better exchange
with databases like LCNAF and SNAC and support better contextualization of agents by providing more ways to apply controlled access headings or information about the agent and their relationships.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership Pilot Program<br>

(HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), tribal archives, and community archives. The proposal incorporated ideas from the community from a series of discussions and feedback opportunities we offered beginning last summer and was the result of the efforts
of a small planning team comprised of ArchivesSpace community and program team members. This program is part of a
