Tentative Schedule
1:00-1:30 p.m. Welcome remarks and ArchivesSpace Governance Board/Program Staff update
1:30-3:00 p.m. Plenary session on writing an ArchivesSpace implementation plan
Description: Implementing ArchivesSpace as your archives management system requires more than hitting the "migrate" button. This session will provide a comprehensive framework for institutions of all types and sizes to write their own ArchivesSpace implementation plans, no matter the resources available to them. This highly-interactive session includes guidance from metadata specialists, IT professionals, systems archivists and processing archivists, and will address the technological, political, training, and resource allocation needs that should be addressed before adopting ArchivesSpace. Those who have already implemented ArchivesSpace in their own institutions will be encouraged to share their insights and lessons learned as well.
Confirmed speakers represent Rockefeller Archive Center, LYRASIS (speaking about preparing institutions of many sizes and types for hosted implementations), and Yale University. (This session will be recorded.)
3:00-3:15 p.m. Break
3:15-4:30 p.m. Parallel breakout sessions.
