Maggie Hughes
Archival Processing Manager, The Huntington Library
I’m excited for this opportunity to run for the ArchivesSpace Governance Board as an institutional representative for medium-sized institutions and serve Aspace and the wider community. I believe I would be a valuable member of the board because I have extensive experience with, and a range of perspectives on, ArchivesSpace. I’ve been using ArchivesSpace since 2014 at four different institutions, primarily in positions where I have been involved in implementing ASpace, including developing institution-specific trainings and workflows. The Huntington Library is in an ongoing implementation of ASpace, which I see as a 5-10 year process, realistically (not including ongoing maintenance). Additionally, I was a member of the ASpace Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for four years (2017-2021), and served as Vice Chair and Chair during those terms. My past experiences with TAC were professionally and personally fulfilling and edifying, and I’m excited about this opportunity to learn from colleagues on the board and contribute to the mission and strategic direction of ASpace in a new way.
