DLG to ArchivesSpace Spreadsheet Generator

Welcome to the dlg-uga_aspace_workflow wiki! If you would like to install the software, see the Installation section of the README.

Summary

This application takes an input of barcodes from top containers in ArchivesSpace, retrieves all the archival objects associated with those barcodes, parses the information and writes to a DLG approved spreadsheet template (also provided by the user in the application). This process is intended to make it easier for users to contribute metadata to DLG's online portal of digitally accessible historic images and cultural material by automatically pulling the data from ArchivesSpace and into a spreadsheet that the user can send to the DLG, along with any other files.

ArchivesSpace at UGA Libraries

The Hargrett and Russell Libraries at UGA needed to create consistent spreadsheets of metadata for ingest into the Digital Library of Georgia's (DLG) online portal of digital content of their collections. These spreadsheets contain metadata of the archival objects that are associated with the top containers that a user inputs into the application.

DLG

The spreadsheet template was provided by the DLG to code how to map the metadata fields of archival objects from ArchivesSpace to the spreadsheet template that is provided by the user.
