<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">ArchivesSpace is announcing the availability of v3.0.0, with a caveat. Due to an issue with the migration of Agent Contact Notes during upgrades, we are asking people to pause upgrades for a short time. We will
be putting out a 3.0.1 release that fixes this issue in early June.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">ArchivesSpace 3.0.0 (and its upcoming sibling 3.0.1) 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">
<span style="color:black">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 style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;font-variant-east-asian: normal;font-variant-position: normal">
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 style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;font-variant-east-asian: normal;font-variant-position: normal">
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 style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">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></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">Program team members Lora Woodford, Mark Cooper, and Brian Hoffman wrote and reviewed extensive code and supervised the work of Manny Rodriguez, 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></span></p>

</span><span style="color:#1155CC">https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/2634973195/Roadmap</span></a>. This new version highlights work currently scheduled for the next 12 months. It also mentions priorities that are not currently scheduled
for the time period but that could shift if additional resources or community partners are identified. We are aiming to put releases out three times a year, though we may have occasional additional releases in between larger ones to address specific issues
(for example, to address the agent contact note migration issue in 3.0.0 mentioned above). As a release approaches we will provide more specific details about the work it will contain. The roadmap will be updated as releases come out or significant changes
take place. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">We were fortunate to receive many strong applications, from a fascinating group of archives and collecting institutions, which provided our review team with quite a challenge when putting together this relatively
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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><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!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">In March 2020, processing archivists in Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) at the University of Oregon Libraries began experimenting with the Classifications module
in ArchivesSpace, seeking a way to create interactive, browsable subject guides for new reference staff and patrons. Using existing controlled vocabulary in SCUA’s MARC records, processing archivists employed data exploration tools in OpenRefine (formerly
GoogleRefine) to collate collections into subject areas based on Library of Congress Classifications. Using OpenRefine and additional subject analysis of the collections, processing archivists were able to create comprehensive lists of SCUA’s collections by
subjects represented. These lists could then be uploaded into ArchivesSpace Classifications, giving staff and patrons a tool to browse archival collections as they would books on a shelf in the general stacks of the university library.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">This webinar will explore the MARC-to-Classifications workflow in OpenRefine, as well as subject analysis methods used to assign both classifications and subclassifications based
on numerical collection data. Classification Web, the primary tool used for subject analysis and classification, will be juxtaposed with other open-access tools in the hope that institutions may replicate aspects of the project regardless of subscription-based
resources. Highlighted resources used for subject analysis will include Library of Congress Classification Web (subscription-based), Library of Congress Authorities (open access), and the Library of Congress Classification Outline (open access).<br>

<span style="background:white">In this webinar, archivists working with audiovisual materials and ArchivesSpace discussed how their shared experiences have led them to help and bolster one another’s work in ArchivesSpace and in managing audiovisual materials.
They also discussed the specific projects they have worked on to describe audiovisual materials in ArchivesSpace.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

We are currently looking for volunteers for the working group to plan our seventh annual
<a href="https://archivesspace.org/using-archivesspace/archivesspace-forums"><span style="color:#1155CC">ArchivesSpace Annual Member Forum</span></a>!
<span style="background:white">Just as in previous years, this forum will be a free opportunity for staff from ArchivesSpace member institutions to meet and share information with each other and the program team about all things ArchivesSpace. While traditionally
an in-person event, </span>ArchivesSpace will be holding its seventh Annual Member Forum virtually. Although it will be held during the week of the Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting as in previous years, the Member Forum is not part of SAA and
does not require registration for the SAA Annual Meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">This free event is a chance for ArchivesSpace members to come together to highlight the work they are doing in ArchivesSpace, show off new plugins or tools they’ve developed, and attend discussions and trainings
on a variety of topics. All community members are welcome to volunteer for this working group. We will schedule meetings and the forum itself in ways that allow for participation across time zones. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:black">If you would like to volunteer, please respond by June 14, 2021. And if you have any questions, contact Jessica at
