Link ArchivesSpace resource to Archive-It seed
The ArchivesSpace digital object plugin includes an endpoint designed for integration with Archive-It. The endpoint generates a json response that provides the title, number of digital objects, and a link to provide a user with more information about a collection for a resource in ArchivesSpace.
Once the ArchivesSpace plug-in has been installed, you'll need to follow these steps to connect related resources to your seeds:
- Locate the URI for an ArchivesSpace resource.
- Open the Seed settings for the relevant web resource and navigate to the Metadata tab.
- Click "Edit" to add metadata.
- Copy and paste the URI into the “Related Archival Materials” field and click “Add” to commit the entry. Note that only one ArchivesSpace URI can currently be connected per document/seed in Archive-It.
- The results will list the Collection Title and Extent and should appear on the public site within an hour.
Full documentation is available on the Archive-It integration GitHub page.
This discovery tool was developed in collaboration with NYU Libraries and funded with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
