[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Books in the Archives

Good morning all, Happy Monday. Here's a conundrum to start off your week... I'm a lone arranger with a large number of books within my archives. I know that ASpace is not designed to handle books (but it can) and I have no other library catalog at my disposal. Many of the books could be put

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Books in the Archives

Hi VivianLea, We do this for the few manuscript collections we hold where we have taken possession of the individuals' personal library. Typically we call the series "library" or "personal library," and either enter book titles as item level records or attach a pdf listing of the books as an exter

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Books in the Archives

We’ve done a somewhat similar thing here at the Harvard University Archives: for our John Rawls material, we created two finding aids: * Papers of John Rawls, HUM 48. https://id.lib.harvard.edu/ead/hua32010/catalog * Books from the personal library of John Rawls, 1915-2002, HUM 48.1. ht

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] : HOUR_OF_DAY: 1 -> 2

Hi folks I've got the --- Backtrace Sequel::DatabaseError: Java::JavaSql::SQLException: HOUR_OF_DAY: 1 -> 2 (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-1229) issue which I see from threads can happen after Daylight Saving. I've never seen it before, but it looks like our users have put som

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Books in the Archives

Hi VivianLea, We will often use AS to provide access to books in our archival collections. The guiding principle is whether the books are in our collection because they are individual book-like objects (and thus should be cataloged individually) or if their value is in their being aggregated ma

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bulk update File URIs for individual digital objects

Hello all, Is there a way to bulk update File URIs for digital objects? Our goal is just to update over 100 digital object's URI without having to do this item by item. While we have a solution for instances, we just want to know if there's a way to change the current URIs to the new ones in bulk.

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] : HOUR_OF_DAY: 1 -> 2

Little bit more information- running v.2.8.1 and MariaDB 5.5.68. Time complained about is eg Time: 2022-03-28 15:46:28 +0100 So basically any startup time + 0100 (I'm not sure which table it would be writing to there), which puts it into the future- no longer blaming users! I am guessing tha

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] : HOUR_OF_DAY: 1 -> 2

http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/pipermail/archivesspace_users_group/2022-March/009092.html You can probably just: UPDATE user set user_mtime = NOW(), system_mtime=NOW(); Though might need to: -- AO update archival_object set create_time = '2022-03-13 06:00:00', system_mtime = '2022-03-13 06:00:00'

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] : HOUR_OF_DAY: 1 -> 2

Thanks Blake. It looks like the one-liner (UPDATE user set user_mtime = NOW(), system_mtime=NOW();) did the trick. I'll remember that for future seasonal changes. Cheers Scott == Scott Renton Digital Library Development & Systems Floor F East Argyle House 515219

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Web developer in libraries

Hi folks, For the web developer archivists in the field, what skills and knowledge are important for working with ArchiveSpace? I'm pulling a list together for our library administration. Our ASpace instance is hosted so we don't expect our library IT department to customize or update the code

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Automate the reorder of Instances/Containers in Accession record

Hi, Is there a way to re-order a large amount of instances in an accession record? All I can see is to drag and drop in the edit screen but for other Archivesspace elements, like Archival Objects, you can modify the position values in the database to change the order of elements. There is no su

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Adding columns to Harvard spreadsheet importer

Hello Bri, You can definitely do this. We have added lots of extra columns to our spreadsheet (particularly for notes that weren't already there. You just need to copy the exact same format as the previous columns for the ArchivesSpace field codes found in Row 4. One column has the note content

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Background jobs stuck in queue

I am having an issue running background jobs in Archivesspace. A few weeks ago, I tried generating a PDF of our largest resource, however this background job did not run. It was a large job, so I assumed that the size was causing an issue, so I canceled the job and tried again. When it didn't wor

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Adding columns to Harvard spreadsheet importer

Hello all, A couple months ago, I similarly wanted to import a value in the Label field along with the content of a General Note. I tried with a column header of n_odd_label to see if this would work, but it did not. I posted to this group, but did not get a response. The error I got read: Row 6:

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bulk update File URIs for individual digital objects

Hey Kris, For this problem, you could either update the file URIs in bulk by directly editing the data in the database or use the API. If you have access to either, I would go with whichever you are more comfortable. Editing in the database would be the fastest, but I would test any updates in

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Adding columns to Harvard spreadsheet importer

Hello Olivia, During our ASpace implementation, Atlas helped us play around with trying to add labels to notes using the spreadsheet. We came to the conclusion that it is not possible. Would be happy if someone proved me wrong though! Anna --- Anna Haywood Archiviste Archivist Centre Canadi
