Hi all, Does anyone have experience with or examples of cataloging special collections primarily of printed monographs but also some archival type objects like correspondence, manuscripts, etc? Would love to collect a broad set of examples for an upcoming project. Thanks in advance!

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] different date models for Agents vs Accessions, Resources, Archival Objects?

Hi all, I will just chime in to say that we have found the new date functions in agents hugely helpful with describing local sources, and are very much looking forward to being able to use those functions in describing works, especially series and file components. NIC

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Cataloging framed portraits

Hi all, I am considering using ArchivesSpace to catalog some framed portraits, including of unidentified individuals, that we have physical custody of. Does anyone have a good example of either their own work or instances seen in the wild of framed portraits being cataloged through Aspace?

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] File Size (Bytes) field

Hi all, Does anyone have an experience using the File Size (Bytes) field for Digital Objects, or know of any way to modify it? It looks like a free text field, but actually requires an integer, so using modifiers like Mb or Gb isn't an option. Since we have objects with trillions of bytes, the

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Books in the Archives

Hi VivianLea, We do this for the few manuscript collections we hold where we have taken possession of the individuals' personal library. Typically we call the series "library" or "personal library," and either enter book titles as item level records or attach a pdf listing of the books as an

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Agent Records with missing information

Hi all, I am curious how others treat entering agent records with only very partial information. We are currently doing item level processing on a significant collection where many of the subjects and even creators of the records are only described as "Bro. Smith" or "Sister Jones." Sometimes it

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Reorder mode in 3.1.0

Hi all, Since upgrading to 3.1.0 I've noticed an issue with reorder mode. Records can be reordered and cut and paste, but when working with resources in a lower level of hierarchy, attempting to drag (or cut and paste) a resource kicks that resource up to the higher level. For example, moving the

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Unable to Browse for Containers in RDE Template

Hi Corinne, The in-pane browse for containers only returns containers already associated with that collection. To use it in RDE, you'll need to have already created or attached it elsewhere in the collection through the standard edit page. If that doesn't solve the issue, I don't know what to

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] File naming errors in PUI

Hi all, This week we upgraded from 2.7.1 to 3.1.0. Soft reindexing took care of most apparent issues, but one thing that newly appears is that files with dates but no utilized name field display with the description "translation missing: en.inherited" as so: [image: image.png] Is this either a

Hi all, I'm testing a fresh install of 2.8.1 and getting an error message on the LCNAF and LCSH plugin. This should be working in 2.8.1, right? [image: image.png] *Nicholas Stanton-Roark* | Archivist | Robert A. Nicholson University Library Anderson University | 1100 E. Fifth St,

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Image hosting for Aspace

Hey all, We have a gallery collection that is going to use Aspace to catalog their display collections. One thing they need is an embedded thumbnail image of each object. I know how to use extptr tags in notes to embed images hosted elsewhere, but am looking for advice on where to easily host

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Calculate Dates functionality

Hi all, Recently we have started using the Calculate Dates function. We sometimes run into situations where every subsidiarity element of a resource has dates, but Aspace will not calculate dates from that range. When the button is pressed nothing happens. Has anyone experienced this or seen

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top Container autocomplete issue

Hello all, Have encountered a bug that I can't find described anywhere. The Top Container autocomplete drop-down no longer returns any results on *new* accessions/records (but still works in older records). The browse function can still locate the appropriate container, but this is not an option

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Unprocessed label on processed accessions

Hello all, For some time we have been using Aspace for cataloging while using a legacy database for accessioning. We are now in the process of accessioning new materials in Aspace, but it is not working entirely as we expected. After an item is accessioned, we spawn one or multiple resources
