Dear Colleagues,
Just a reminder that the Call for Participation<https://archives.albany.edu/web/arclight_integration/cfp.html> for the ArcLight Integration Project's remote and in-person cohorts is due by the end of Friday, October 11th. We also wanted to clarify some details:
No ArcLight experience or expertise is required to participate
We're looking for practitioners experienced in describing digital objects in archival collections for any system or context. We particularly welcome those who do this work in basic tools such as spreadsheets and PDF finding aids. We also particularly encourage submissions from small and/or under-resourced repositories as well as practitioners who identify with underrepresented and/or marginalized populations.
Scheduling
The Remote Cohort will meet over the course of five days from December 2-6, 2024. We plan to hold a structured session each day at 2pm Eastern time lasting from 1 ½ to 2 hours. While there will some asynchronous preparation and response work, the fixed schedule will be limited to this 2pm-4pm Eastern time window.
Digital Objects
While the project is focused on leveraging IIIF for access to digital objects, any type of digital object is in-scope. We also hope to facilitate aggregate description for larger volumes of digital materials such as file directories and disk images.
Application Process
Please complete the application form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1wXyyPCRoc-MNZOKdgEQrbZWJieCV_IOwEU6JJfQz4RJMlA/viewform?usp=sf_link> and either upload a CV/resume or email a CV/resume to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, by the end of October 11th.

Subject: Call for Participation: ArcLight Integration Project
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a public Call for Participation<https://archives.albany.edu/web/arclight_integration/cfp.html> in the ArcLight Integration Project! This initiative aims to develop open specifications for incorporating digital objects in ArcLight.
What We're Working On:
We need our archival description to provide remote access to born-digital and digitized materials. Our goal is to work with a group of archival data experts to create a sort of archivist-version of the Portland Common Data Model (PCDM).
Who We're Looking For:
We seek experienced practitioners to help define relationships between archival description and digital objects. We're looking for individuals with hands-on experience in describing archival materials across various contexts, such as ArchivesSpace, EAD, and more. If you have insights on connecting finding aids with digital objects, we want you!
Project Overview:
We are forming two key groups:
* Remote Cohort: Contribute local insights and help shape foundational project aspects over a series of virtual meetings from December 2-6, 2024.
* In-Person Cohort: A sub portion of the Remote Cohort will also collaborate in-person at the University at Albany, SUNY on February 5-7, 2025 to draft key project specifications.
Compensation:
All participants will receive a $500 honorarium, with an additional $500 honorarium and $1,200 in travel support for the in-person cohort.
We strongly encourage applications from individuals who identify with underrepresented and marginalized populations.
Application Process:
Please complete the application form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1wXyyPCRoc-MNZOKdgEQrbZWJieCV_IOwEU6JJfQz4RJMlA/viewform?usp=sf_link> and either upload a CV/resume or email a CV/resume to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, by the end of October 11th.
