Share your feedback on ArchivesSpace Metadata Standards Adoption Principles

[Martha Tenney]

Hello all,

The Metadata Standards subteam of the ArchivesSpace Technical Advisory Council has created a set of principles to help guide and elucidate our decisions around the adoption and maintenance of external metadata standards, models, and guidelines in ArchivesSpace (including impacts on import, export, and data modeling within the application). 

We are seeking ArchivesSpace member feedback on these principles. Please complete this form (https://forms.gle/SrXHAdyp5Pb193G38) by the end of the day on Monday, May 11, 2026. 

Principles: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14VRLQneEQIXhv9u5zvYPEOMvi0BO80mQL1zoJhWDSOs/edit?tab=t.0 

Recording of Virtual Member Forum 2026 session sharing the principles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcRK-9tYyM (slides are attached)

Thank you!

Martha
