Migrating into the Roarin’ 20s: Modernizing Collection Accessibility, Management, and Preservation

Abstract

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.
