What you can build

  • Build a mapper that transforms a partner’s spreadsheet rows into DublinCoreXML and reports missing required values before staff import the records.
  • Build a small client that takes a list of identifiers, searches Providence through its GraphQL API, and produces a CSV of selected record fields.
  • Build a BagIt package checker that accepts Providence export packages and produces a report of missing or inconsistent package contents for staff review.
  • Build a timeline view from collection location-history records, turning a selected object’s dated location entries into a printable movement history.
  • Build a reconciliation tool that compares selected records retrieved from two Providence installations and outputs a review file of differing values.

Try this prompt

Build a small end-to-end spreadsheet-to-Providence import preparation tool. Accept a user-selected CSV and a mapping configuration, transform rows into DublinCoreXML, and show a validation report for missing or unmapped values before saving the output file. Preserve the source CSV unchanged, make errors traceable to their input row, and include a sample input and tests. Do not claim a direct Providence import integration unless the documented import workflow supports it.

Get started

  1. Check server requirements

    Confirm that your server meets the documented system requirements. The README identifies PHP 8.2 and 8.3 as compatible and points to the requirements documentation.

  2. Follow the installation guide

    Use the official Providence installation instructions at https://docs.collectiveaccess.org/providence/user/setup/install/ to install and configure the application.

  3. Review APIs and import options

    Read the README’s feature overview for supported import formats, GraphQL capabilities, BagIt export, and the separate Pawtucket2 publishing application before planning an adaptation.

License & notes

GPL-3.0GPL-3.0 permits commercial use, subject to its terms. If you distribute a modified covered work, GPL source and notice obligations apply; network interaction alone, without conveying a copy, is not distribution under the license. Hosting, database, media storage and processing require resources. Automated translation and transcription services may incur separate provider costs; no prices are stated here.

  • Providence is the cataloguing backend; public-facing publishing is a separate companion application, Pawtucket2.
  • The README lists supported imports and a GraphQL API but does not document detailed field mappings or client examples; verify those in the official documentation before building.
  • Hosting, database, media storage, and any external translation or transcription services have separate operational costs.
  • GPL-3.0 obligations apply when conveying covered copies or modified versions; merely running a private copy does not itself require publication of source.
