    Migrating into the Roarin’ 20s: Modernizing Collection Accessibility, Management, and Preservation
    (2022-10-21) Glascock, Sandra; Somach, Emily
    The Library at the Maryland Center for History and Culture has been undertaking a large-scale migration project over the past 2.5 years to increase accessibility of collections and improve collection management and digital preservation. The migration involved the implementation of ArchivesSpace and a new DAMS, along with the development of new metadata standards, documentation, policies, and procedures. When the migration first began, MCHC was also rebranding and preparing to launch a new website that would integrate with both new systems. This poster will describe the workflows developed for the migration; obstacles encountered; details about ongoing work; and next steps.

    They’re in a Better Place Now: Navigating Collection Transfers
    (2023-04-27) Smith, Jasmine; Antos, Bethany J.; Glascock, Sandra
    Session 9: Although transferring a collection of materials from one institution to another can be a big undertaking, rehoming it may enhance the accessibility and visibility of the materials, provide a better storage environment, or confer other advantages for one or both institutions. This presentation will address both the practical and philosophical sides of inter-institutional collection transfers. In addition to discussing the logistics and documentation of collection transfers, presenters will talk about why a particular collection move was proposed and accepted, and how it affected staff and researchers. This session will not discuss transfers that are part of scheduled records management activities.
