Lone Arranger

So You Don't Have to be Alone

LYRASIS is launching a new ArchivesSpace hosting service, designed and priced specifically for the Lone Arranger community (small archives, museums, historical societies that have little IT support and limited financial resources)! The service acts as an internal, administrative system to organize, manage, and describe archival records and collections.

With the "Lone Arranger" service, each client:

Will have its own repository, housed along with many other institutions and their repositories in a single, shared instance of ArchivesSpace.
Will have exclusive access to their own repository and the data within it.
Will share a single branding template on the web-accessible, staff-side interface (a public-facing interface is not available with this service), complete with a Lone Arranger logo and LYRASIS footer.
Will share several metadata types (Agents, Controlled Values, Locations, and Subjects) between all repositories
Will have access to LYRASIS standard video training, user's manual, and the LYRASIS "Lone Arranger" Google Group, which acts as a community support mechanism between LYRASIS "Lone Arranger" clients.
Will receive 24x7 monitoring, upgrades of the application for new versions released by the ArchivesSpace community, and care for the underlying operating system components.

While data migration for this service is not offered, clients can use community developed tools to:

Import/export finding aids in EAD or MARCXML formats
Import accession records in CSV format
Export digital object records in MODS or Dublin Core
Export PDF finding aids
Use Steady, a community-developed tool, to transform container lists, saved as CSVs, into EADXML for import.
