I see:  I was searching (case sensitive) for ‘pry’ in the source to find usage. 
Missed “Pry” . 
( Only method I ever use is binding.pry or binding.remote_pry. Never tried it 
for pretty printing. 
  Sometimes used awesome_print to make log output more readable. )

Not using 2.0.1. Just 2.2.2 ( on both production and test now ). 
I had to do the manual fix at the time I installed it. I hadn’t checked back if 
a new release fixed that.

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace spreadsheet import plugin

[Fox, Bobbi]

Hi!

As the developer:
  I don’t wrap the pry in the group development block, because when one of you 
kind remote users of this plugin has a problem, it might be helpful to refer to 
the log where unexpected errors get dumped via Pry::ColorPrinter

In terms of the gemfile dependency issues, I thought I had them fixed in  
version v2.0.1  
(https://github.com/harvard-library/aspace-import-excel/releases/tag/v2.0.1)  
(although I just noticed that I hadn’t closed the issue; Steve: are you still 
having the problem with v2.0.1?)

We aren’t using CentOS, so I can’t speak to Jessika’s problems.

Feel free to reach out to me directly to pursue either of these issues.

Cheers,
Bobbi

Using it with v2.2.2 with CentOS 6.9. But I had to manually fix the Gemfile 
dependency issue by removing the version number for ‘pry’ :

https://github.com/harvard-library/aspace-import-excel/issues/18

But if GEM incompatibility is the problem, I don’t think ArchivesSpace will 
start up at all. But I could be wrong.

What sort of loss of functionality are you seeing ?


( BTW: Is there any reason for pry to be packaged in production for this plugin 
instead of being wrapped in  ‘group :development do’ block ?  )

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] DAO Notes in EAD

[Christine Kim]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have recommendations on customizing the exports? Tali from the 
Guggenheim would like to have her notes exported in digital objects EAD. There 
seem to be a number of plugins as well. What is everyone using?

Best wishes,

Hi Tali,

The EAD for the finding aid exports the DAO info that's in the resource record, 
but doesn't pull additional notes from the actual digital object record. The 
digital object record itself would need to be exported.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Is this something that should be 
submitted to JIRA?

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] DAO Notes in EAD

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble with note tags in DAO records when downloading EAD finding 
aids. During our migration to ArchivesSpace a few years ago, the copyright 
notes in  were mapped as "General Notes" in ArchivesSpace DAO records. 
However, I noticed that "General Notes" or any other note fields in the DAO 
record do not export as part of the EAD from ArchivesSpace.

I saw the following ticket but I believe this is about the PUI not the EAD 
export:
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1807

It is crucial that the "General Note" (or any other appropriate field you can 
recommend) show up in our EAD XML document-we do not use the PUI but instead 
download the EAD and map it directly onto our online finding aid on the museum 
website. We 
are using ArchivesSpace version 2.2.0 in Google Chrome browser.

Also, in the future, can I map DAO fields to export as  in 
EAD3? Is this a setting we can tweak in the backend? I would really appreciate 
it if I can get any input or suggestions! Thank you!

Best,
Tali

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSnake Needs Your Help!

Just a reminder that ArchivesSnake is still looking for contributions to 
Github. We have about 2 weeks until our information gathering stage ends.

Please email if you have any questions at all.

Subject: ArchivesSnake Needs Your Help!

Hi all,

I’m heading up a collaborative project that we’re calling ArchivesSnake. 
ArchivesSnake is attempting to create a Python Library of scripts for working 
with the ArchivesSpace API.

We’ve got a great team going, and we’re currently in the information gathering 
stage. If you’ve written a Python script to work with the AS API, we want to 
hear about it! We have a Github page: 
https://github.com/archivesspace-labs/ArchivesSnake, but you’ll need access to 
write to it.

We’re currently taking the approach of adding links to scripts in github repos, 
and you can use the RAC 
(https://github.com/archivesspace-labs/ArchivesSnake/blob/master/RAC_links.md) 
or U of Albany 
(https://github.com/archivesspace-labs/ArchivesSnake/blob/master/ualbanyExample.md)
 links for examples. If your code is not in Github yet, but you’re willing to 
share it, we’ll put it up on ArchivesSnake. If you want to add links yourself, 
please email me and I’ll add you as a Github collaborator. If you lack the time 
to add links yourself, or you’re just baffled by Github, email me links to your 
code, and I can put them up myself.

We’re closing the information-gathering stage on January 31st, 2018. Please 
contact us before then.

After we’ve gathered sufficient examples, we’ll start grouping like functions 
and try to find the best way to do everything. After which point we’ll start 
work on creating the open Python library for all your needs.

Let me know if you have any questions!

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Extent field for Archival objects

[Pitaro, Francesca]

Hello,
I'm hoping someone on the list can help with a fix for this problem. We have 
hundreds of archival objects that were migrated from Archivist's Toolkit with 
the extent field listed as "0". This did not display when we created PDF 
finding aids using toolkit, but it's very evident when creating finding aids in 
ArchivesSpace.  The field shows up as "Physical Description: 0 item(s). We'd 
love to be able to delete any extent fields where the value is 0.

Our ArchivesSpace application is hosted by Lyrasis as we don't have technical 
support for this type of work.

Thanks,
Francesca

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace board update

[Laurie Arp]

Distributing for Carol Mandel...


Dear ArchivesSpace members,

I am writing to report on the ArchivesSpace Governance Board 2nd Quarter 
meeting, a 2 hour call which was conducted December 4th.

We reviewed the continued dedicated work of the Technical Advisory Council and 
User Advisory Council and thank the members for their strong participation. The 
operations update highlighted progress in development, especially the 
contributions from several ArchivesSpace member institutions that sponsored or 
contributed important functionality.  The board is also encouraged by the 
creation of and continued progress by the core committers group.

Gordon Daines graciously agree to chair the Nominating Committee this year. We 
appreciate him taking on this pivotal responsibility.

The board is making progress on several important foundation documents.  Work 
continues on the bylaws review, the organizational home agreement and updating 
a mission statement.  A Budget Reserve Fund policy was approved.  The board 
briefly discussed futureproofing ArchivesSpace, and will work with the LYRASIS 
organizational home over the next year to research and consider a number of key 
areas for potential needs and growth.

In closing, I am very happy to report that the ArchivesSpace membership 
organization continues to be vital and growing, with members making 
contributions to all facets of the program.

The Board welcomes your communications and comments. Thank you for your 
continuing support and ongoing participation in the community we have created 
together.

Respectfully,

Carol A. Mandel
Chair, ArchivesSpace Governance Board

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] New DevOps Specialist working with ArchivesSpace: Lora Woodford

[Christine Di Bella]

LYRASIS, the organizational home for ArchivesSpace, is pleased to announce that 
Lora Woodford will be joining us as our DevOps Specialist, working closely with 
the ArchivesSpace team on activities to better support ArchivesSpace users and 
improve the application.
Lora knows ArchivesSpace well and is well-known in the ArchivesSpace community, 
having helped lead ArchivesSpace implementations at Johns Hopkins University 
and Colgate University. She is also an inaugural member of our Core Committers 
group. Lora has most recently been the Digital Archivist in the Special 
Collections department of Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University where 
she has created, documented, and managed workflows for acquiring, describing, 
processing, preserving, and providing access to born-digital materials. She 
participates in a wide range of activities related to improving processes for 
analog and digital records, as well as the University's records management 
program. She serves on the Libraries' IT Infrastructure Team and is a frequent 
collaborator on technological projects. In her three years prior at Colgate, 
she led a wide range of technical services and public services activities, and 
was an early adopter of ArchivesSpace, having co-written a successful proposal 
to fund their ArchivesSpace implementation in 2013.
Having taught herself much about the technologies that the archival profession 
relies upon, Lora is passionate about building technological literacy in the 
archival community and getting archivists comfortable with tech tools that can 
make their lives easier. Partnered with her colleague Valerie Addonizio, Lora 
has developed and taught a workshop titled "There's an API for That!" that has 
been attended by dozens since its inception in 2017. She has served as a mentor 
and advisor to newer colleagues, interns, and a National Digital Stewardship 
Resident. She has long been an informal technical resource to people throughout 
the archival community, and we are delighted that she will take up this role 
more formally as our DevOps Specialist.
As DevOps Specialist, Lora will be based in LYRASIS' Digital Technology 
Services department and participate in a range of technical support and 
development activities for ArchivesSpace, including responding to support 
tickets and writing code to fix bugs in the application. Through June 2018, her 
focus will be exclusively on ArchivesSpace. Beginning in July she will continue 
to be heavily involved with ArchivesSpace, but will also provide assistance 
with other closely aligned programs and services supported by Digital 
Technology Services, including Islandora and CollectionSpace.

LYRASIS serves as the organizational home for ArchivesSpace, providing 
resources and services to help grow, support and amplify the community 
contributions. These include staff, technology, financial services and 
logistics support.

Lora's first day will be January 29. She will continue to be based in 
Baltimore, but will become an even more active presence in the ArchivesSpace 
community as she represents ArchivesSpace and LYRASIS in various online and in 
person venues.

Please join us in welcoming Lora Woodford to the LYRASIS team!
