Labor Archives of Washington Assessment Project

Project tags:

archives & special collections

The Labor Archives Assessment Project is a project to assess the status of the Labor Archives of Washington (LAW)'s collections in terms of their level of description, preservation or conservation concerns, housing quality, and more. This information was added to UW Special Collections' ArchivesSpace platform via its assessment module, which allows information about the status of collections to be linked to their accession records within ArchivesSpace. This module is currently underutilized in UW Special Collections, and this project seeks to serve as an example of the beneficial use of the ArchivesSpace assessment module.
