Any individual affiliated with an ArchivesSpace member organization is eligible to participate in the ArchivesSpace Member Match program. If you are unsure of your organization’s ArchivesSpace membership status, visit https://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace or email ArchivesSpaceHome@lyrasis.org.
While any individual affiliated with an ArchivesSpace member organization may participate in the ArchivesSpace Member Match, those looking for more general archival or professional mentorship may find the SAA Mentoring Program or the mentorship program of your regional or state archival associate more appropriate.
Responsibilities of Member Match Participants
The majority of communication between participants will take place virtually with no expectation of in-person meetings unless they would like to do so due to being in close distance and/or attending the same conference.
Matches will conduct an initial meeting to lay the groundwork for the relationship going forward in advance of the first cohort meeting with the ArchivesSpace Member Engagement Sub-team.
Matches will determine a workable meeting schedule with their match based on availability, interests, and capacity.
Matches will encourage each other to actively participate in ArchivesSpace member activities, e.g. webinars, posting to the listserv, serving on committees
Matches will provide feedback and guidance regarding strategies, workflows, troubleshooting, and other application-related topics.
Matches are willing to be transparent and open in communication, trustworthy, and confidential when necessary.
Matches agree to follow the ArchivesSpace Code of Conduct during meetings and activities.
Matches agree to notify the Member Engagement sub-team, as soon as known, if there are problems and/or if they need to leave the program.
Matches should try to attend as many scheduled Member Match events as possible to network with colleagues in their Member Match cohort.
