TAC Business

Austin Munsell

  • 👏 Thanks to Regine, Michelle, Kevin for responding to questions over the last month on the ArchivesSpace Member List!

  • Upcoming joint meeting: Focus on Accessibility and ASpace.

    • This topic was selected due to the Department of Justice’s final rule updating regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act published on April 24, 2024. Many member institutions are working to comply with the stipulations of this rule and questions about how this relates to ArchivesSpace have been raised.

    • Please add to the shared doc for questions in advance of the February joint meeting

  • Recent/Upcoming webinars and meetings:

  • TAC/UAC Quarterly Report is complete and will be submitted shortly. Thanks to all for contributing!

Subteam Joint Breakout Debrief

Was this a useful activity?

Where there any notable areas of similarity/divergence?

  • Mary K.: The labor of lead/vice lead came up: how much time does this take up? How does this differ from group to group? Austin mentioned in the past he scheduled times for leads/vice leads to talk to one another. Attendance wasn't great, but some people in current group expressed interest.

  • In other breakout session, Diane mentioned that EAD4 came up!

  • Austin wondered: should we mix it up again, and have the sub-groups meet again in this way? Many attendees nodded on camera! Also mentioned that he may plan a more focused topic of discussion, like stepping the group at-large through the development roadmap.

  • Michelle thought it was useful in terms of discussing specific workflows.

Open Mic

 

Suggestions from open mic:

  • Michael Andrec: Somebody mentioned some interest in how to handle bi- or multi-lingual finding aids, in a previous meeting. He is super interested in exploring this further.
