The Archival Integration Team at SAA2016

The Bentley's ArchivesSpace-Archivematica-DSpace Workflow Integration project team will be out in full force at the Society of American Archivist's Annual Meeting in Atlanta next week, where we'll be talking about some of the topics we've written about in detail on this blog, including our ArchivesSpace/Archivematica integration work, implementing new systems, preparing legacy description for migration to ArchivesSpace, and appraising digital content.

Be sure to add some of the following to your sched and stop by to get up-to-date information about our project or just to say hello!
