Migration sub-team

About:

The Migration Sub-team generally provides support for migrating data to ArchivesSpace from other systems and support for importing and exporting data such as EAD, MARCXML, CSV.

Work of the sub-team falls into three broad categories:

1) Assisting organizations with migrating data from Archivists Toolkit, Archon, and sometimes other legacy systems and from formatted data objects such as EAD, MARCXML, and CSV documents:

2) Assisting with maintenance of importers and exporters for EAD, MARCXML, CSV, EAC by:

- testing import / export functionality
- reporting bugs or drafting feature requests in JIRA
- updating import / export mapping documents as needed
- exploring other potential import / export pathways (e.g. EAD3)

3) Serving as a resource to the ArchivesSpace community by:

- responding to migration and import/export related questions on the user list
- drafting new feature requests for new or improved import / export functionality
- helping organizations troubleshoot migration and import/export issues.

Please note that the Migration Sub-team typically CANNOT perform database migrations on behalf of members and WILL NOT perform extensive data cleanup on behalf of members or rewrite migration scripts to accommodate institution-specific practices. For institutions seeking more in-depth assistance with your ArchivesSpace migration we recommend reviewing the migration services offered by ArchivesSpace Registered Service Providers
