Making the Case for ArchivesSpace
- Stephen Innes, University of Auckland - Stephen Innes is the Team Leader, Cultural Collections (Special Collections) at the University of Auckland Libraries and Learning Services. He has over 30 years’ experience managing and developing New Zealand and Pacific-related collections, including archives and manuscripts, in a tertiary education environment. He was a key player in the transfer of the Western Pacific High Commission archives to the University in 2002. Stephen has a special interest in improving access to archival collections, which researchers have always found difficult to use to full effect. Adopting ArchivesSpace, an open-source web application for managing and discovering archival collections, has been a key focus in the last 10 years, culminating in the release of a public interface, Manuscripts and Archives, in 2019.
