<p class="MsoNormal">ArchivesSpace is announcing the availability of v3.0.0. You can download it at
<a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white">
<span style="color:#24292E">This release centers around changes to the agents module of ArchivesSpace to make it more standards-compliant with EAC-CPF and the MARCXML format for authority data, enabling deeper and richer description of people, families, and
corporate entities, their relationships to each other and their relationships to materials held outside ArchivesSpace. This work is the result of a community specification involving the participation of many users across the ArchivesSpace community, mostly
notably Cory Nimer, Sue Luftschein, and Brad Westbrook. Through this work new fields and sub-records have been added to the agents schema, and staff and public interface views, imports, exports, and auxiliary functionality like agent merging have all been
updated. There is also a new Light mode, which provides the option for users to continue to work with agent records in the staff interface in a pared down view that is similar to that of ArchivesSpace versions prior to this one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-thickness: initial;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px">
<span style="color:#24292E">This release also contains improvements in some other areas of the application contributed by community developers and program team developers and contractors. While all are valuable, a few community contributions are of particular
note:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

For spreadsheet fans, the developers and archivists at Harvard University have contributed a spreadsheet feature focused on adding top containers and associated information to existing archival objects. With this feature, a user will download a file of archival
objects for a resource, add top container information outside the application, and then import the information into the resource record, from the Load via Spreadsheet area.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#24292E;margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;background:white">
There is a new Unpublish All feature, contributed by Nick Butler at the University of Cambridge. This feature allows for unpublishing everything in a resource or groups of archival objects within a resource and represents the conversion of this popular plugin
to core code.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#24292E;margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;background:white">
Hudson Molonglo developers James Bullen, Mark Triggs, and Payten Giles contributed additional performance, backend and staff interface improvements. These derived from work HM did for Queensland State Archives as part of a larger project.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks very much to all of our community members who contributed code for this release: Andrew Morrison, Blake Carver, Bobbi Fox, Brian Harrington, Corey Schmidt, Dave Mayo, Dee Dee Crema, Fred Reiss, James Bullen, Katie Amaral, Mark Triggs,
Nick Butler, Noah Geraci, Payten Giles, Peter Heiner, and Steve Majewski. We were also pleased to work for the first time with contractors April Rieger and Braydon Justice of Notch8 on a small project.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Program team members Lora Woodford, Mark Cooper, and Brian Hoffman wrote and reviewed extensive code and supervised the work of Manny Ramirez, our longtime contractor who devoted very substantial time to the expansion of the agents module.
This is also the first release under Brian’s supervision as our new Tech Lead. This release would, of course, not have been possible without the hard work of our community groups, including our Development Prioritization, Testing, Metadata Standards, Technical
Documentation, and User Documentation sub-teams, the API Documentation Ad Hoc Working Group, and the Core Committers Group. We’d also like to thank the SNAC Technology Infrastructure Working Group for reviewing and testing the changes for EAC-CPF at various
points along the way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at
<a href="https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/administration/upgrading.html">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ArchivesSpace 3.0.0 has been a major undertaking and we appreciate everyone who has been involved along the way. Thanks to all for your help and support.
