Dear ArchivesSpace members,

We're pleased that a new ArchivesSpace Help Center, with an improved user 
manual and new training videos, is on its way. We expect to be launching the 
site by mid-December. The Help Center will be a private area within our larger 
Confluence site, which includes information about many of our community and 
development activities. The current Help Center site 
(http://docs.archivesspace.org) will be up through early 2020, but it will be 
closed to new user signups and no content will be updated once the new site is 
up.

The new and improved content is thanks to the efforts of our User Documentation 
sub-team and our training corps, and the amazing organizational skills of our 
Community Engagement Coordinator, Jessica Crouch.

We'll be migrating user accounts to the new site beginning the week of December 
9. Please do not update, create or sign up for new accounts on the current site 
after December 6. After that,

  *   If you already have an account for our Confluence site, you will not need 
to do anything. Privileges to access the Help Center area will be added to your 
account.
  *   If you have an active* account on the current Help Center site but do not 
already have an account for our Confluence site, you will receive an email 
invitation from Atlassian to set up your account and get access to the new 
area. The subject line will be "ArchivesSpace has invited you to Confluence." 
This account will also give you enhanced access to our other Confluence and 
JIRA areas. Passwords from the old site will not carry over, so you will need 
to create a password as part of setting up your Confluence account.
  *   If you do not have an account on the current Help Center site and do not 
already have a Confluence account, I suggest waiting until the new site 
launches and then signing up yourself. If you need help with that, please let 
us know at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
* We've asked Help Center institutional administrators to clean up user 
accounts for their institutions over the last few weeks. Thank you for all your 
help with this! Prior to the move, we will also be clearing out accounts from 
the current site for people who have not logged in for more than 18 months. 
This will help us ensure that only currently active users are moved over to the 
new site.

We hope you enjoy the new content and look forward to the enhanced 
opportunities for community participation that the new site will allow. Thanks 
for your patience as we make this transition and please do let us know if you 
have any questions.
Christine
