My institution, the University of Denver, has been using ArchivesSpace since the 1.0 release, which also involved a migration from Re:Discovery, ably presided over by Kevin Clair (currently on the Technical Advisory Council, now at Penn State). Since this time, ArchivesSpace has become integral to our special collections and archives technology ecosystem; it is integrated into and/or connected to our digital preservation and access infrastructure, our library management system, and will soon be connected to our online exhibits platform. Despite the “Large” category we belong to, we have a relatively small but still mighty technology team – two full-time developers and an IT librarian who are responsible for all library and archives-related development and systems maintenance, and a newer Digital Collections Librarian – and so this integration and development that we’ve been able to achieve is reflective of the kind of deep expertise and collaborative long-term planning that we have all built together. I look forward to bringing this ethos and context to the governance board.
