Goals

1. Finalizing the draft charter for the Digital Archives Working Group (DAWG) available online at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ELJlYFKyyC50ri_-2BSLRj0Z77RfNq3Br9jv7UvI-44/edit

In general, it was expressed that there should be an ongoing commitment by the group to meet the needs of all of the CSUs, as each institution has different capacities, and each campus is utilizing different tools and approaches, with some campuses having more robust digitization programs than others. Some discussion was had about the Use Cases portion of the document, but it was otherwise approved by the group. The document will continue to be worked on as the group meets.

2. Discussion of membership, communication, meetings, goals, and creation of break out groups for ArchivesSpace implementation, digital asset management system platform

Meetings: We will be meeting every other month, and will determine a standing meeting day.

Break out/affinity groups:

It was generally agreed that we will break into two affinity groups, one geared toward ArchivesSpace implementation, and another for the digital asset management system platform. We will further discuss these groups in person at the CSU IR Scholarworks Symposium over the summer.

DAM Affinity Group:

Will be working on the creation of a poll, similar to the poll created by Jessica Holada at San Luis Obispo for ArchivesSpace, to poll the CSU campuses on current digital asset management systems, digitization efforts, and use of digital materials in instruction, in consultation with Kevin Cloud. May also include questions on desired specifications, future needs, etc.

ArchivesSpace Affinity Group: Report to STIM on interest and costs of hosting ArchivesSpace (Zach Vowell may be working on this currently)

3. CSU IR (Scholarworks) Symposium, Summer 2018:

Generally determined to focus on a presentation related to digital asset management and exhibition possibilities on the Samvera platform, as many of ArchivesSpace users will not be in attendance.

ACTION: Will start Google doc in drive, to start brainstorming.

4. Report back from West Coast Samvera Regional Meeting
