<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Yale Archival Management Systems Committee (YAMS) has recently activated the Assessments module across all Yale repositories.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">ArchivesSpace Assessment records are intended to contain information about the quantitative and qualitative condition of surveyed material, its readiness for reformatting, housing, physical arrangement, intellectual access, and research
value. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More information about the Assessments module is available in the following resources:<o:p></o:p></p>
