Hi Jessica and Elaine! I am also "starting from scratch" and like Jessica I have a third party hosting for me but have no help from the campus IT department. I currently use Archon but the data I inherited is messy, incomplete, wildly incorrect, and nowhere near archival standards so I will not be importing any of it into ASpace but instead use it as a reference. I am also a lone arranger and forging ahead on this project solo while also managing all of the day to day archive requests.
Would love to have a little cohort of newbies that I can troubleshoot with! *Kate Wilson* *she / her / hers* *College Archivist* Saint Mary's College of California [email protected] 925-631-4231 On Thu, Aug 5, 2021 at 1:19 PM Jessica Steytler <[email protected]> wrote: > Solidarity! > Are you doing the hosting yourself, Elaine?
