Setting up ArchivesSpace can be a complex operation. With many options for preferences, default values, user management, and groups–and the need to account for both Alliance and institutional practices–the enterprise can easily become tangled.

This workshop is primarily intended for those who will serve as the systems administrators for their AS instance, but is open to any A&M participating institution that has implemented ArchivesSpace.
