Dear ArchivesSpace users, Join ArchivesSpace community members on April 17, 2024, at 12:00pm ET/9:00am PT for a webinar on increasing impact by sharing an ArchivesSpace implementation. This webinar is intended to highlight the challenges and benefits of sharing an ArchivesSpace implementation across multiple organizations, not multiple departments or repositories within the same organization. Anyone interested in sharing or currently sharing an implementation of ArchivesSpace is encouraged to attend. Date: April 17, 2024 Time: 12:00pm – 1:30pm ET (find your local time<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Increasing+impact+by+sharing+an+ArchivesSpace+implementation&iso=20240417T12&p1=179&ah=1&am=30>) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qDnvT-efTfW0Eo_jcGOFbg This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Webinar description: In this webinar, ArchivesSpace Program Manager, Christine Di Bella, will provide an overview of some use cases and considerations for multiple institutions sharing one ArchivesSpace implementation. She will also discuss ways individual and collaborating organizations can participate in the ArchivesSpace community and even increase their impact. After, members of the ArchivesSpace community will present on the specific decisions, needs, challenges, and benefits they have encountered facilitating a shared ArchivesSpace implementation for multiple organizations. Celia Caust-Ellenbogen and Laurin Penland of the TriCollege Consortium (Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore Colleges) will present on integrating the Consortium’s instances of ArchivesSpace and Alma. Preparing for this project required reconciling controlled lists and authorities across institutions, as well as collaborative decision-making around the implementation of several plugins. Eric Fritzler from the Center for Jewish History will discuss the Center’s shared services model which includes administering a suite of library systems and a reading room on behalf of Partner institutions. Since a dual systems migration (mostly) completed in 2020, they have used ArchivesSpace to centralize and (to some degree) normalize controlled lists of agents, subjects, and other dropdowns among five Partner institutions working concurrently in the same instance. While always working to improve integration between library systems, they have reached a flexible and (mostly) stable equilibrium between ArchivesSpace, their discovery layer (Primo), and their digital asset preservation system (Rosetta) to build on toward leveraging further functionality in ArchivesSpace (Aeon request plug-in, locations, pilot project importing EAC-CPF/SNAC agents, etc.). Portia Vescio of University of New Mexico will present on migrating 16 institutions from across the state of New Mexico to ArchivesSpace from a legacy system that had been in place for almost 20 years. She will discuss the challenges faced in communication and data clean up as well as managing individuals struggling to learn new workflows and becoming an accidental project manager.
