Hello and welcome to the ArchivesSpace Batching program wiki! If you would like to get started installing the software, see the Installation page. For developers, you can see more documentation in the Code Structure section.
This application batch exports records from ArchivesSpace in EAD, MARCXML, Container Label, or PDF form. Additionally, it can run exported EAD records through a series of cleanup processes. Lastly, a user can upload .xml or .pdf files to their instance of XTF for finding aid websites.
This application derived from the ArchivesSpace project to migrate the Hargrett and Russell Libraries from Archivists' Toolkit to ArchivesSpace. As such, both institutions needed a way to batch export records from their ArchivesSpace repositories and since exporting one at a time is time intensive, this program was developed to streamline the process.
XTF or eXtensible Text Framework is a project led by the California Digital Library to transform EAD.xml files into readable and usable html. The Hargrett and Russell Libraries use a modified version of XTF to host their own website for public display of their finding aids. This program integrates with existing workflows by allowing users to upload and index new/changed EAD.xml files to their website. This simplifies the previous workflow of exporting from Archivists' Toolkit, running XML processes on the exported files, and manually uploading to the website.
