Workshop description:
This full-day workshop, co-sponsored by the Society of California Archivists and ArchivesSpace, will provide a practical introduction to the ArchivesSpace Digital Objects module, which is used to describe and provide metadata encoding for digital objects that are accessible online. Upon completing the course, students will have a working knowledge of the following areas:
- The functional scope of the Digital Objects module;
- How ArchivesSpace might be used in tandem with external digital asset management systems;
- How to model, create, and update simple and complex Digital Object records;
- How to link and relate Digital Object records to Resource and Accession records;
- How to generate Digital Object metadata exports in standardized formats (MODS, METS, and Dublin Core);
- How to apply the content standard DACS to determine the kind and form of data recorded in a Digital Object record.
During this participatory workshop, students will complete a series of practical exercises, and participate in group discussions about case studies from their own and other institutions related to managing digital files, multi-application workflows, and system integrations. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptops (and share them) since the venue will not be supplying computers. An online workbook will be provided.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who has a basic familiarity with ArchivesSpace and would like to learn more about the Digital Objects module.
