Integrations and Other Community Projects

Are you working on an integration with ArchivesSpace? If so, please fill out our ArchivesSpace Integrations Information form so that we can learn more about it. Once submitted, the Integrations sub-team of the Technical Advisory Committee will discuss your work during one of our monthly calls.

Please keep in mind that we’ve defined integration as:

A functional coupling between ArchivesSpace and another software application to act as a coordinated whole. Regardless of the complexity of a particular integration (see Tiers), a defining characteristic of all integrations is communication, or seamless data flow--without a manual, intermediary step--between systems. For our purposes, an integration should also be generalizable for the ArchivesSpace community.

That’s purposely broad, but you can find out more about what we have in mind, as well as information on tiers, on our Integrations Defined page.

Integrations

System	Name of Integration	Organization	Objective	Additional Information			Status	Tier
System	Name of Integration	Organization	Objective	Code	Documentation	Other	Status	Tier
	ArchivesSpace-Archivematica-DSpace Workflow Integration	Bentley Historical Library	Introduce functionality into Archivematica that will permit users to review, appraise, deaccession and arrange content in a new "Appraisal and Arrangement" tab in the system dashboard. Load (and create) ArchivesSpace archival object records in the Archivematica "Appraisal and Arrangement" tab and then drag and drop content onto the appropriate archival objects to define Submission Information Packages (SIPs) that will in turn be described as 'digital objects' in ArchivesSpace and deposited as discrete 'items' in DSpace. Create new archival object and digital object records in ArchivesSpace and associate the latter with DSpace handles to provide URIs/'href' values for <dao> elements in exported EADs.	On Github	Coming soon!	Press release Blog Wiki	In-progress	2
	ArchivesSpace-Archivematica	Rockefeller Archive Center	Introduce functionality into Archivematica that will let users pair digital objects to ArchivesSpace resources/components and automatically generate Digital Objects in AS based on the digital objects. Create Access/Restrict notes based on PREMIS information entered into Archivematica. Automatically pair digital objects to ArchivesSpace resources/components through matching digital filenames and AS ref_ids.	On Github	Coming soon!		In-progress	2
	Preservica-ArchivesSpace Integration	Yale University	Introduce functionality into Preservica to manage ingested content according to ArchivesSpace record hierarchies, linked through ArchivesSpace ref_ids. Create linked ArchivesSpace digital records records for materials ingested into Preservica. Enable synchronization of metadata between ArchivesSpace and Preservica for preservation purposes.	Proprietary	Coming soon!	Demo	In-progress	2
	ASpace-to-Drupal	American Academy in Rome	Using currently available contributed and custom Drupal modules, this project will provide a mechanism to periodically poll the ArchivesSpace REST interface for newly created and changed archival and digital objects. Currently, the project uses cURL HTTP (chr), Web Service Data (wsdata), and some glue code to pipe ArchivesSpace-provided JSON formatted objects into Drupal entities. These entities can be formatted, manipulated, and indexed via traditional Drupal methods (Views, Solr, Elastic Search, etc.). Future releases will replace cURL HTTP and Web Service Data with custom Guzzle component requests. There are plans to provide a turnkey Drupal distribution and Docker container (possibly bundled with ArchivesSpace) to support the activities of smaller organizations with limited technical staff and funding.
