ArchivesSpace
This module allows you to import and display archival descriptions from ArchivesSpace into your Drupal site. It is designed to work seamlessly with Islandora 8, providing the necessary content types and plugins for a public-facing display.
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:
- Install the module and all dependencies. Composer is recommended:
composer require drupal/archivesspace - Enable the appropriate submodule for your site (i.e. either stand-alone OR with Islandora). E.g.
drush en -y archivesspace_defaultsif not using Islandora ORdrush en -y archivesspace_islandora_defaultsto use with Islandora. - Update the ArchivesSpace settings (API endpoint, username, and password) @
http://yourdrupal.example/admin/config/archivesspace. - 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).
