Integrating ArchivesSpace with Preservica

Wendy Goodier (Preservica) and Erica Schumann (Preservica) will discuss the integration of ArchivesSpace and Preservica and demo the Preservica ArchivesSpace connector. This tool provides an easy and automated way to synchronize metadata and organizational hierarchy between the two systems, simplifying the ingest of digital content and preserving updates made after ingest. Users maintain the same ArchivesSpace record view across both physical and digital materials, avoiding the need to re-key metadata.

Sarah Cogley (University at Buffalo Libraries) will walk through her repository’s decision to use ArchivesSpace and Preservica together. She will offer insight into the process of integration, including decisions that were made, lessons learned and how integration has made life easier. Sarah will also include a demo of the University at Buffalo’s integrated web presence.

A Q&A session will follow the presentations.
