ArchivesSpace at University of Richmond
Birong Ho - Systems and integration Librarian
University of Richmond started implementing its archive collection management ArchivsSpace in the fall, 2013. As a charter member and the Head of Special Collection as the Board member, implementation of such an Open Source Software became a priority. University of Richmond also has a long history of involving the digital humanity. Digital Scholarship Lab has been our partner on campus.
Several aspects of implementation will be addressed in the talk. Among them, they are collections and repository, storage layer including data format, system resources requirements, technical architecture, customization of the interface, adds-on features that fit into the local needs, scaling and integrated with other systems in the library, on campus.
University of Richmond has a very rich local history. The collections have covered long history of American background. Rare books and Special Collection department have digitalized these collections and are ready to share with the rest of the world.
University of Richmond Libraries have been running various open source software. Local customization of Webvoyage codes, VuFind and Archeo are one of them.
The implementation process, the software architecture, and the customization, scale, and integration with other systems such as Archeon and Exist on campus became a concern will be focused and elaborated in the talk.
