Building off of last year's inaugural event, plans are underway for this year's ArchivesSpace Members Forum. Open to staff members from all ArchivesSpace member institutions, the forum this free event is an opportunity for ArchivesSpace members to learn and share with each other and the program team about all things ArchivesSpace. This year's forum will be in Atlanta, prior to the main Society of American Archivists conference program. Watch this space as plans develop! If you have ideas or suggestions, please comment here on the wiki or email Christine (christine.dibella@lyrasis.org).
