<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi Marsha,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We’re also now using ArchivesSpace. Although technically we’re still in the midst of a multiyear project migrating all our legacy finding aids to ArchivesSpace, so we remain in that awkward transitional
phase where you can find our finding aids on two platforms. We are nearing completion on the project though, and our hope is that within a year we’ll be exclusively in ArchivesSpace. Overall, ASpace’s internal collection management functionality has been hugely
helpful for us. The public interface, though, in my opinion, still leaves a lot to be desired, at least in the out-of-the-box version. We’ve been working with our web developer to make a lot of customizations to our public interface to improve and streamline
the user experience, and we’re much happier with the changes we’ve made compared to the default version of the public interface.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">You are not required to become an ASpace institutional member in order to use the application. If you have someone with the technical proficiency to manage an internal ASpace server for your
institution, you can use it at no cost (no monetary cost, at least). We did this for several years before finally becoming a member a couple years ago – I believe the membership cost for an institution of our size is about $5K annually. So the costs come
into play if you want to become an institutional member, or if you require hosting services for the application. There are definitely some nice perks that come with membership.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Happy to (try to) answer any questions you may have off-list!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We had already decided to try for ArchivesSpace and were able to eventually find funding. We hadn’t planned to pull our OhioLINK FAs from that repository, but were especially in need of the collections management side of ASpace.
