Apply for the 2025/2026 Cohort of the Member Match Program!
The ArchivesSpace Member Engagement sub-team is now accepting applications for the fifth cohort of the ArchivesSpace Member Match program.
The Member Match program is an initiative to engage individuals in the ArchivesSpace membership community, created and organized by the Member Engagement sub-team of the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council, with support from the ArchivesSpace Community Engagement Lead. The program is intended to be a resource and venue for peer-to-peer support between individuals working in ArchivesSpace member institutions. For one year-long term Member Match participants will be matched with an individual member at another institution with whom they can receive and offer professional insight, advice, and comradery. The program will also offer participants the opportunity to engage in exclusive events and enlightening discussions about ArchivesSpace and its active user community.
The program includes:
- 1-on-1 matches or an option to participate in small group matches of 3 people
- Quarterly Member Match Meet-Ups
- These are formal opportunities for large group socializing with a set presentation as well as the potential for dedicated time to spend with matches in breakout rooms.
- Monthly Informal Meet-Ups
- These are informal spaces for program participants to meet each other and discuss just about anything. It does not have to be ArchivesSpace related! These are usually a monthly event on the first Friday of each month.
- Private Listserv and Slack for Connecting with Other Participants
- All participants of Member Match are invited to participate in a private listserv and Slack channel where the sub-team sends out announcements. Participants are also encouraged to utilize the listserv and Slack to connect with the larger group of participants.
