Hi, We have created a number of resources to train folks at Indiana University. We have basic documentation, which is creating collection level information in ArchivesSpace as well as a general introduction to ArchivesSpace. We also have documentation for both the spreadsheet importer and Rapid Data Entry, as well as managing existing component lists in ArchivesSpace. Lastly, I've created complementary videos for the spreadsheet importer and Rapid Data Entry. Everything in our resource suite is a huge information dump, so many of our repositories (we have 26+) take the documentation we've created and pare it down for their purposes. We also have an unpublished training repository set up in ArchivesSpace that is specifically for practice.
I like to point new users to the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. There are a lot of useful basic ArchivesSpace tutorials. I hope that helps!

After reading the manual, then working along with the staff, they showed me how to directly input data without using the spreadsheet. I have never used the spreadsheet and upload, I find it much easier to do direct input instead of the spreadsheet, it eliminates any issues with the spreadsheet not uploading correctly.

I have somebody starting who had a brief intro to it in school but has no real experience with it. Most of what they will be doing at first is resource record creation (multi-level) and loading via spreadsheet. I don't want to overwhelm but also think that because so much is interconnected that having a good sense of the bigger picture of how it all works would also be helpful. I'm trying to choose among the many training video options available on YouTube and from the help and tutorial pages. If you have suggestions on those for what has worked for you in the past or more generally how you have approached this, I would be grateful to hear. Many thanks, Tara Laver Tara Z.
