Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Auto generating unique IDs

Hello Anna, You might want to look into the Digitization Work Order plugin , which might meet your needs. The plugin allows you to generate unique identifiers for selected archival objects within a resource record that is then added to that

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Advice on born-digital accessioning in ArchivesSpace

Hi Celia, I think this is a great question, and I’d be curious to hear what other folks are doing. As a general rule we use container instances to record information about physical materials, and digital objects to record information about born-digital materials or digital surrogates. We track

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace user groups: governance, terms of reference

Hi Natalie, I'm really glad that you wrote to the list about this. It's really helpful to hear how others are approaching this important work, even though I imagine much will be contextual based on organizational structure and whether folks are hosted locally or through a service provider. At

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] question about exporting ref ids and related q about component unique ids

Hi Wendy, I just wanted to follow-up on Noah's plug (heh) for the digitization work order plugin. The plugin allows the archivist to generate a tsv file of descriptive metadata for selected components within a resource record, and one of the fields included in that is the refid. Users have the

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Revised Proposal for Container Management Enhancements - Call for Community Input

Hi Robin, We wanted to provide some comments to this proposal for enhancements to ArchivesSpace’s container management functionality. We’d like to thank Harvard for their efforts to put this together to make ArchivesSpace a more useful system for the broader community. We are also a large,

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Language data in 2.7.0 not exporting to EAD

Hi Kevin, We are also currently testing 2.7.0 on a local dev instance and I can confirm that we are also experiencing an issue with the Language of Materials Note not exporting. I did test this on the 2.7.0 community sandbox and the records I exported there did show that note in the EAD. We also

This is great news! - thank you for the update on this, Christine. We wanted to add our voices to the chorus that we too are looking forward to this functionality. We would also very much welcome the ability to merge container profiles, as Kevin just brought up. Thanks, Rachel On Wed, Jun 5,

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] MARC export bug in 2.5.2

Hello list! We upgraded to version 2.5.2 a few weeks back and missed this issue in our testing process. We noticed that the MARC export is exporting relators of added entries as the translation instead of the actual value. For example, now =700 1\$aDoe, John.$4Donor is being exported instead of

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Digitization Work Order plugin + ASpace v 2.5.2

Hi Rachel, I wanted to follow-up to let you know that NYU just upgraded to version 2.5.2 and we are able to successfully run the work order plugin on this release (we are locally hosted, by the way). I'm not sure if that's helpful to you, but thought I should mention that it's possible. Best of

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] question about digitization work order plugin

Hello Henry, We are successfully using the Work Order plugin with v.2.5.1. I'm not sure if this will solve your issue, but we have noticed that the plugin is only an available option in the "More" button on the menubar when a resource record is in view mode and not edit. We also have some

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Component unique identifiers

Hi Adrienne, We had a similar issue here at NYU. Previous digitization projects relied on the shorter Archivist's Toolkit refids for file naming, but this became untenable with those created by ArchivesSpace. We didn't want to change our inter-departmental workflows too radically, so we

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] ASpace testing protocol

Hi Julie (and anyone else who may be interested), I'm attaching our testing protocol that we use when evaluating release candidates for upgrades. We use a few locally-created plugins, so testing those involves a bit of extra work only briefly alluded to in this document. Happy to share more or

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Location reports in v.2.5.1

Hi everyone, We're about to upgrade to v.2.5.1 and in the course of testing the release candidate, noticed some changes to the location holdings report. In previous versions one could set more granular parameters to produce location holdings reports for specific rooms or a range of locations,

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Having trouble with permission to Manage Top Containers

Hi everyone, We also experienced this issue and submitted the original ticket for AR-1559. We discovered that users who have these container-related permissions (but not permissions to manage the repository) were able to navigate to the manage top containers page through their browser address bar

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Spawning resources

I'm a little bit late to the party here - typical - but this is something I've thought about too. Our accessioning workflow involves the creation of both an accession and resource record for new collections. We still use the spawning feature because of the information it does automatically carry

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ASpace Help Center cannot be reached

Hi all, We've recently noticed that we're unable to get to the ArchivesSpace Help Center, either directly through the url or via the question icon in ASpace itself. Instead we get an error message that "the site can't be reached." Does anyone on the program happen to know if the site is currently
