Using ArchivesSpace
• You should have an account in the class ArchivesSpace
instance:
• http://ram.ischool.utexas.edu:8080/
• Username: your EID
• Password: ch@ng3M3! (initial)
• There are three predefined repositories:
• IMLS C2C (IMLS Connecting to Collections Initiative)
• AFP (Austin Fanzine Project)
• Sandbox
• Start in the Sandbox
Sandbox Repository Selected
Create a new Accession
New Accession Panel
Note that some information is required (Identified, Accession Date), while other
information is optional.
Tooltips
Most elements have tooltips, text that shows up when you hover over the element.
Note that references to DACS are to the first edition.
Accessions vs. Resources
• Accession:
• http://www2.archivists.org/glossary/terms/a/accession
• Resource:
• http://www2.archivists.org/glossary/terms/r/resource
• http://www2.archivists.org/glossary/terms/o/object
• We’ll create a new set of resources by importing a finding
aid
• Finding aid:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18331583/ferris.xml
Your first accession
• Create a new accession, using DACS to format the
entries.
• You can do anything – for ideas, look at
https://pacer.ischool.utexas.edu/community-list
• Note: try for smaller communities (10 or fewer items)
• All identifiers will use the organization code TxU-LS
(MARC Organization for UT library school)
• Use the date of accession into Dspace, if known;
otherwise, use today’s date
• Ignore Agents, Subjects, Classifications (for now)
Adding a resource
• Spawn a new resource from the accession
• Add a title for any finding aid to be created
• You will want to represent a hierarchy of objects
• Add at least one digital object
• Note technical metadata than can be included
Tutorial Assignment
• For any one accession, create a tutorial that shows how
to complete a given step in ArchivesSpace.
• For example:
• Creating an accession (include AS required elements plus required
•
•
•
•
•
elements from DACS v.2, updating tooltip references to DACS as
needed)
Creating a resource (either from an existing finding aid or from
scratch)
Add a digital object (include steps of creating checksum, extent
information, etc.)
Create an agent
Create a location
Using classification
Finding Aid Assignment
• Create an accession for a collection of digital objects
• Options:
• any one state in the IMLS Connecting to Collections repository at UIUC
• Connecting to Collections recordings (DVDs)
• Austin Fanzine Project (talk to Jennifer Hecker about options)
• Associate the accession with a resource (either by
spawning or creating after the fact)
• Add digital objects for the various items – at least 5
• Create any needed agents or other authority records
(subjects, locations, etc.)
• When complete, export EAD
