small cohort. I'd like to thank review team members Audra Eagle Yun of UC Irvine, Skyla Hearn of Cook County Historic Archives and Records Office, Lizeth Ramírez of UCLA, and Brittany Newberry of Robert W. Woodruff Library, Atlanta University Center (who chaired
the group), along with ArchivesSpace Community Engagement Coordinator Jessica Crouch, for all their hard work.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We are excited to have such excellent partners in this new endeavor. These institutions will join our member community officially on July 1, but we are already working with them to make sure they have what they
need to get started with the application and the community. Please join me in welcoming them to ArchivesSpace!</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
