Dear ArchivesSpace community members,
You are invited to participate in a workshop gathering feedback on potential integrations between ArchivesSpace and other applications or frameworks. Register here!
ArchivesSpace operates via community leadership and consensus, and Lyrasis is our Organizational Home, providing the legal and operational infrastructure under which we do our work. Our “roommates” in our Organizational Home include four other library and archive community-supported open source technologies.
Lyrasis recently increased investments in the Community Supported Technologies (CSTs) in the Organizational Home, committing to a $1 million investment called the Community-Supported Technologies (CST) Growth Fund. In one of a series of projects supported by this fund called the CST Interoperability Project, we will develop technical specifications for at least one application integration with ArchivesSpace by summer 2026. The goal of the project is to expand the adoptability, usability, and interoperability potential of ArchivesSpace and the other CSTs.
Jess Farrell, Consultant on the CST Interoperability project, and owner of Redstart Works consulting, will lead a brainstorming workshop on integrations. Think about your workflows and what types of integrations would benefit your users and your work. Your participation and feedback will help identify candidate workflows for development.
There are several time slots available across time zones. Note that this is a cross-community offering, and there may be people from other Lyrasis CSTs (DSpace, CollectionSpace, VIVO, Fedora, and ArchivesSpace). If you are interested in talking about interoperability across both institutional and community boundaries, now is a great opportunity!
