Implementing & Integrating Penn State's ArchivesSpace Public User Interface
Alexandra deGraffenreid and Kevin Clair, Pennsylvania State University

In Fall 2021, the Eberly Family Special Collections Library at Penn State University launched its ArchivesSpace Public User Interface (PUI). For six months this site worked alongside the older finding aids website due to the challenges of integrating systems and to smooth the transition for researchers and staff. This presentation will discuss the Collection Services Team’s process of preparing ArchivesSpace for public access and launching the site. Lexy deGraffenreid will discuss finding aid data cleanup, and how Penn State staff used a 2020 finding aids audit as well as legacy finding aid statuses to prioritize updating legacy finding aids data. She will also discuss working with a graduate student assistant to perform data cleanup work by quickly updating standardized language to conform with current practices. Kevin Clair will discuss ArchivesSpace integrations and collaborating with University Libraries Strategic Technologies to personalize the public site. He will also discuss the challenges of integrating Aeon to replicate requesting functionality from the former site, to assist the Research Services Team in efficiently managing requests. In addition, Kevin will discuss integrating ArchivesSpace with Penn State’s CONTENTdm repository to display thumbnail images of digitized records in ArchivesSpace, facilitating digital preservation guidelines while more effectively promoting Penn State’s digital collections. Attendees will learn about the challenges and opportunities of integrating ArchivesSpace with other systems as well as conducting large-scale data cleanup of Resource records.
