Subject: Nominations Requested for ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council


The ArchivesSpace Governance Board is seeking nominations to fill up to three 
(3) vacancies on the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council (UAC).

The User Advisory Council 
(https://archivesspace.org/governance-board-and-councils#UAC) is a critical 
part of the ArchivesSpace community, serving as a communication conduit between 
ArchivesSpace governance groups and ArchivesSpace users. Some of the activities 
UAC is currently engaged in are:

  *   Advising the ArchivesSpace Governance Board and the ArchivesSpace 
Organizational Home on the design and delivery of services, such as community 
engagement and support services, technical support, and training.
  *   As a joint representative of the Development Prioritization subteam, 
discussing and voting on ideas for software enhancements and improvements.
  *   As a joint representative of the Testing subteam, conducting 
user-centered testing of the application prior to releases and conduct ongoing 
usability studies as needed.
  *   Liaising with national and regional archives organizations.
  *   Maintaining and updating user documentation.
  *   Advocating on the usability and functionality of the software program to 
facilitate adoption of the program.

Nominees should be presently employed at an ArchivesSpace member institution 
(please refer to the categorized member list at: 
 
http://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace/). As the community 
for a software application used in many different settings, we seek diverse 
voices in working to improve ArchivesSpace and support those who use or may 
benefit from using it. We especially encourage Black, Indigenous, and People of 
Color, and others currently less represented in our governance groups to 
consider joining us in these important leadership roles.

The anticipated time commitment for each appointee is expected to be two hours 
per week on average.

The term of service will be July 1, 2021-June 30, 2024.

To nominate a candidate for the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council, please 
submit this form at https://forms.gle/m2nN49M34CPgnvci9. The Nominating 
Committee will review all nominations and recommend appointments to the 
Governance Board for approval.

Nominations must be received by 9:00 p.m. EDT on Friday April 23rd. Please 
contact Christine Di Bella,  ArchivesSpace Program Manager, at 
christine.dibe...@lyrasis.org or any 
member of the Nominating Committee with questions.

Thank you for your participation in this important process, which is an 
essential part of our identity and operations as a community-based software 
organization.

The ArchivesSpace Governance Board is seeking nominations to fill up to three

part of the ArchivesSpace community, having responsibility for providing 
technical guidance to individuals or organizations contributing to application 
development, to the User Advisory Council, and to the ArchivesSpace Governance 
Board. TAC's current activities include:

  *   Reviewing enhancements and priorities and testing in collaboration with 
the User Advisory Council.
  *   Providing support for migrating data to ArchivesSpace from other systems 
and support for importing and exporting data in formats such as EAD, MARCXML, 
and CSV.
  *   Documenting the metadata standards used by ArchivesSpace and monitoring 
the standards landscape.
  *   Identifying integration points for ArchivesSpace with other systems (e.g. 
digital asset management systems, patron and request management systems, etc.), 
creating resources to assist the community with integration work and, for 
specific integrations, developing technical requirements.
  *   Maintaining and updating technical documentation, including documentation 
of the API.
  *   Providing support and resources to help develop a community of code 
committers.

Nominees should preferably be presently employed at an ArchivesSpace member

current Registered Service Provider (see:

Nominations from non-member institutions will be considered based on their 
expertise and ability to contribute to the TAC. As the community for a software

Subject: Nominations Requested for ArchivesSpace Governance Board


As chair of the 2021 ArchivesSpace Nominating Committee, I seek your 
nominations of candidates to stand for election for the ArchivesSpace 
Governance Board representing the Small and Very Large membership levels. The 
Governance Board is charged with providing oversight for the ArchivesSpace 
application and community, including fiscal oversight, the approval of 
development priorities, and oversight of the Technical and User Advisory 
councils.

We are seeking two candidates for the Small level and one candidate for the 
Very Large level. (The current incumbent at the Very Large membership level is 
running for re-election as representative.) The terms for all successful 
candidates will be July 1, 2021-June 30, 2024. Each newly elected member 
representative will be eligible to run for a second term, July 1, 2024-June 30, 
2027.

Governance Board nominees must be currently employed by an ArchivesSpace member 
organization in either the Small or Very Large member levels (see the member 
lists at: http://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace/). A 
variety of skills, interests, and experience can be useful in furthering the 
Board's mission, but nominees should ideally have administrative and fiscal 
oversight experience. As the community for a software application used in many 
different settings, we seek diverse voices in working to improve ArchivesSpace 
and support those who use or may benefit from using it. We especially encourage 
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, and others currently less represented 
in our governance groups to consider joining us in these important leadership 
roles.

To submit nominations, including self-nominations, please submit this form at 
https://forms.gle/m2nN49M34CPgnvci9. Nominees who confirm their interest in 
standing for election will be requested to supply a formal candidate statement 
outlining their qualifications for serving on the ArchivesSpace Governance 
Board (see: http://archivesspace.org/about/governance-board-and-councils/). The 
Nominating Committee will review all nominations and confirm a slate of 
nominees with the current Governance Board. An election ballot will be 
circulated to member institutions in mid-May.

Nominations must be received by 9:00 p.m. EDT on Friday April 23rd. Please 
contact Christine Di Bella,  ArchivesSpace Program Manager, at 
christine.dibe...@lyrasis.org or any 
member of the Nominating Committee with questions.
