ArchivesSpace

This module provides content types, modules, and plugins necessary for harvesting archival descriptions from an ArchivesSpace instance for public display in a Drupal site.

Note, this module may also be referred to as "AS→D" for convenience to disambiguate it from the ArchivesSpace software.

AS→D closely tracks and is designed to be used with Islandora 8.

Quick Start Guide

Assuming the Drupal site and ArchivesSpace are installed on the same host:

1. Install the module and all dependencies. Composer is recommended: composer require drupal/archivesspace
2. Enable the appropriate submodule for your site (i.e. either stand-alone OR with Islandora). E.g. drush en -y archivesspace_defaults if not using Islandora OR drush en -y archivesspace_islandora_defaults to use with Islandora.
3. Update the ArchivesSpace settings (API endpoint, username, and password) @ http://yourdrupal.example/admin/config/archivesspace.
4. Run the migrations. (E.g. using migrate tools (not included by default): drush mim --all) Note: most of the migrations will run relatively quickly, within a few minutes. However, the final migration, archival objects, can take a very long time to process for large sites (more than an hour).
