- ArchivesSpace is an “archives information management application,” and much more than a finding aid maker. The system includes a number of pieces of functionality - some original to the predecessor applications and others newly developed and incorporated into the core code - that support better collections control. In this session, we will (re-)introduce some of these features, share our use cases for applying them to real situations that impact the user experience, share ideas about how to remediate existing data to make it compatible with these functions, and start talking about a shared toolbox of fixes to help with issues that many of us have. We also want to hear your use cases, the challenges you are facing, and the solutions you might explore. We hope that this session will help empower users to look at this functionality and the system more broadly as a tool to work with in order to achieve the ultimate goals of improved collections care and increased accessibility. Make the system work for you, not the other way around.
