Here at GW we are undertaking a project to add barcodes to top level containers that do not have them or replacing an Aspace generated faux code with a barcode. We plan to use the API for much of this work. Batch editing records through the API is a new project for us, though our department had some limited experience with it. We've pulled reports from ArchivesSpace using the API, and done some very limited posting of content. We have library staff to assists with the Python scripting we plan to use. We're working with Archivesspace version 2.3.2.
I would love to hear from folks that have done this already. I've looked at Johns Hopkins script to post barcodes in Github. https://github.com/jhu-archives-and-manuscripts/MARAC_API_Workshop/blob/master/postBarcodes.py I wasn't able to make that one work for me, but I hope with assistance with editing the script I can make it work. Are there other suggestions for places to look for guidance or any advice people can provide from their experiences? -- Vakil Smallen NEA Project Archivist Special Collections Research Center The George Washington University [email protected] 202-994-1371
