    Transforming external legacy metadata for ArchivesSpace: A labor of love
    (2018-06-14) Parker, Bria
    When the AFL-CIO collection was acquired, University of Maryland Libraries received a database export of all the metadata associated with the materials.

In this presentation I will outline the challenges of transforming the metadata and describe the transformation workflows. Specifically, I will show the tool (Stead) that was modified and used for the majority of the transformation work, as well as review the other steps, tips, and tools I utilized to format the metadata for optimal import into ArchivesSpace.
