Update and evaluation of recent changes to Archon Migration Tool

• What works / doesn't work?

Matt G. and Phil Suda summarized recent testing of Archon Migration tool. Both noted that the tool is much improved and most outstanding issues are related to local data and not the tool itself. Matt noted inconsistent results after running a couple of test migrations. Phil will run a test migration with Matt's database to look for any remaining issues.

Nathan Stevens was the primarily developer for the AT and Archon migration tools and is no longer with the project. It's unlikely that there will be continued development of these tools. Brian and Chris are not that familiar with the code. There is still some confusion about what level of support the Migration Sub-team can provide re: the Archon and AT migration tools. Perhaps we can clarify the support expectations with Brad.

Summarize recent Hackathon activities related to migration and import/export

• EAD Import/Export discussion
• Impact of container management changes on migration
• Discussion of formalizing role of TAC members in responding to user-list queries

There were several migration and import/export related sessions at the recent Hackathon meeting in NY. Several members of the migration sub-team attended the meeting. Schedule: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dRn6aKju9_-h-K-zVY3NGdhk0Mizdx3EC6aSRH4K9fs/edit#heading=h.z3qvmmms5yvj

• During this session, a group (mostly Mark Custer and Maureen C. from Yale, Noah, and Steve Majewski) identified and documented some outstanding issues with EAD imports and exports: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wMGPDSdhfh3FsFZmJ3tngMWtmFNkRUHqwfFcxZp5Txk/edit
• The group also put together a draft workplan to:
  • Develop a suite of EAD preprocessing and validation tools to support EAD import (mostly Terry C. and Dave Mayo from Harvard). Preliminary work here: https://github.com/tcatapano/EAD_Archivespace_Import.
  • Clean up existing labels for EAD import/export issues in JIRA so they are easier to identify
  • Add any outstanding issues to JIRA
  • Review current EAD import/export mapping spreadsheets for accuracy
