Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top container ranges

[Rees, John (NIH/NLM) [E]]

Hi Dawne,

I'm doing pretty much what Kate laid out to edit source EAD, for all sorts of 
different container conventions. You can see my ever-growing punch list at 
https://github.com/John-Rees/aspace-migrations/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3Amigrations

I use a variety of regex and xsls to solve various problems.

What Dave said.

>From a practical standpoint, you have these options:

  1.  Change the EAD pre-migration
  2.  Change the data in Aspace
  3.  Live with the data like that (your cost of cleaning v living with it may 
vary, but it is worth having the discussion. My repository had some issues we 
decided to live with and some we decided to fix.)

Option 1 works if you have consistency in the choices folks have made in 
finding aids. Unfortunately at Harvard, for some repositories text like "Box 
3-4" referred to a single box with the identifier 3-4, and not to "Box 3 and 
Box 4". Thus, we could not implement a single script that would work for all 
cases. We were also constrained by time and could not implement scripted 
solutions across sub-sets of our corpus. However...

Individual repositories did implement changes in their own ways. We had very 
few of these "box range" type of finding aids, so I (OK, I know this is a 
really crude, sledgehammer type of method!)

  *   Got the subset of finding aid that have this issue (granted, this can be 
some task in itself)
  *   Put them in their own directory
  *   Used regex find-and-replace (taking great care, of course to do no harm 
by accident) in either my favorite text editor or oXygen to find-and-replace 
all instances of the problem
  *   Double-checked that they were all still valid
  *   Spot-checked the results
Your mileage and access to a real programmer for stuff like this may vary.

Also, specifically:


  1.  Using an XML database like eXist-db or BaseX with XPath/XQuery was 
invaluable when doing analysis of issues and of the impact of changes
  2.  One of the tools I wrote, the EAD Checker, is available online: 
https://eadchecker.lib.harvard.edu - it doesn't catch this specific issue, but 
it does catch a bunch of issues, some of which cause corrupted data rather than 
failure to import.

Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top container ranges

So, with the caveat that we put a lot of resources (a bunch of archivists' 
time, a full year of a full time developer (me!)), we had very solid results; I 
think remediating issues prior to import is almost always worth the expense of 
significant effort, particularly over a large corpus.

My main advice would be to be very, very careful about changes - version your 
EADs, compare before and after scripts run, and in general be very systematic 
about how you find, report, and correct changes.

I don't know if you've seen it, but Kate Bowers and I did a write-up of what we 
did during our migration - it has links to a number of open source tools I 
wrote for doing this kind of work.  They're a bit involved to get running, but 
they definitely work at basically any scale out there, and I'm happy to help 
people get started with them.

Thank you for the quick response.

I don't see a "public" directory in our archivesspace directory. I am attaching 
a screenshot of the directory structure that I see.

Could this mean that I don't have permission to edit that directory, in which 
case I would need to contact my IT department to see if they will allow me

Thanks again,

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Webinar Announcement: Is It Roy E. Harrington or Roy S. Harrington?: How to Make Technology Work for You In an ArchivesSpace Data Cleanup Project

[Jessica Crouch]

Dear ArchivesSpace Users,

ArchivesSpace will be offering another webinar focusing on ArchivesSpace data 
cleanup projects that can be accomplished in a work from home environment on 
Wednesday, July 8, at 2pm ET. Most of us are doing our jobs under much 
different conditions than usual. As a browser-based system you can access from 
anywhere, ArchivesSpace is a tool that can be used when working remotely and 
many ArchivesSpace users are finding themselves executing large scale data 
cleanup projects that have only recently been prioritized.

Title:  Is It Roy E. Harrington or Roy S. Harrington?: How to Make Technology 
Work for You In an ArchivesSpace Data Cleanup Project
When: July 8, 2020
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. – 12:00pm PT)
Where: Zoom
Registration: 
https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T5x0GFR8QHicozJwCsm05Q
In order to provide a secure webinar experience and ensure adequate space in 
our Zoom environment, registration is now required for our webinars.  Our 
webinars continue to be free and open to anyone using or interested in 
ArchivesSpace.
Webinar description:
This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube 
channel.
Three processing archivists from the Rockefeller Archive Center will discuss 
collaborative approaches to mass data cleanup in ArchivesSpace. Presenters will 
share how they planned, reassessed, and executed various automated and manual 
processes for enhancing the quality of their institution’s descriptive data. 
This data includes agent records, dates, and access restriction notes. This 
discussion is based off of the RAC ArchivesSpace Cleanup blog 
series.
Webinar presenters:
Amy Berish is an Archivist at the Rockefeller Archive Center where she works as 
a member of the Processing team. Aside from processing incoming collections, 
she also contributes to various digital projects. Amy holds a Masters in 
Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh.

Katie Martin is an Assistant Archivist at the Rockefeller Archive Center where 
she processes collections of the Ford Foundation and works on projects with the 
digital team. She earned degrees in History and American Studies from Purdue 
University and received her MLS with a specialization in archives and records 
management from Indiana University.

Darren Young is an Assistant Archivist at the Rockefeller Archive Center where 
he processes collections of the Ford Foundation and collaborates with the 
digital team on select projects. He earned a BA degree with majors in English 
Literature and History at the University of Connecticut and received his MLIS 
with a concentration in Archives Management from Simmons College (now Simmons 
University).

Who should attend:

While this webinar will focus on projects that can be undertaken in a work from 
home environment, this webinar will be useful to any archivist focusing on data 
cleanup in ArchivesSpace, those needing to export data out of ArchivesSpace and 
archivists working with legacy data.
