Minutes

  • You will find a spreadsheet template in the Google drive that has sheets for container profiles, location profiles, and locations. The columns are the data points as mapped to ArchivesSpace. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lUoNUyarSD0XfS65_sY1HUsokCBtuiZyz6CNOxj_SG8/edit?usp=sharing
    • FYI: it looks like for measuring shelves, the system really does want just a few standardized sizes. In other words, we don’t need to measure each and every shelf as I alluded to. It’s more akin to the container profiles, as in you’ll come up with the standard sizes that we then link to each location (shelf). Hope that makes sense.
  •  Micah/Ramon will draft brief memo stating intentions of naming various buildings, aisle, shelves, etc. Due Wednesday, Oct. 3.
  • Vicki will fill out spreadsheet for Container Profiles with the measurements for the standard boxes and prefabs that are used onsite. Due Wednesday, Oct. 3.
  • Adrien will schedule weekly standup Due Wed. Sept. 27.
