Member Listservs

ArchivesSpace member listservs provide the opportunity to connect with other ArchivesSpace users and the program team around using the ArchivesSpace application. All staff of all member institutions are eligible to subscribe to these listservs.

As of January 1, 2024, the listservs are managed as Google Groups. People who were subscribed to the previous lists on this date were automatically moved to the new groups. Subscribers can opt for email only or connect their address to a Google account to access web-only features like the directory listing and managing their account settings. Some ArchivesSpace listservs, like the Users Group and Small Archives User Group, have public archives and a Google account is not required to visit the archives as a non-subscriber.

 For more instructions on how to use the Google Groups, visit https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/3571449861/FAQs+Mailing+Lists 

SUBSCRIBE

You can subscribe to either list via email or the web. As these are member benefits, please use an email address associated with your member institution. Subscribing via email first is preferred if you do not already have a Google account attached to an email associated with your member institution.

If you are subscribed to one of these listservs and do not seem to be receiving mail from it, please check your spam or junk folder. You may need to add the list address to your address book to ensure messages go to your inbox.

If you need any assistance with subscribing to an ArchivesSpace member listserv or managing your subscription, please contact the program team at ArchivesSpaceHome@lyrasis.org.

Users Group

Small Archives Group

This list is for those in the ArchivesSpace member community working in small archives or as lone arrangers. You do not need to be from an institution at the Very Small or Small membership level to participate in this listserv, and those from the Very Small and Small membership levels are welcome to participate in other member listservs. The intended purpose of this listserv, however, is to serve as a forum where lone arrangers or archivists from smaller archives may communicate with each other to share techniques and strategies for using ArchivesSpace with consideration for the particular challenges that smaller institutions face.
