Migrating the Minority Health and Health Equity Archive from EPrints to DSpace

Abstract

In 2016 the Minority Health and Health Equity Archive (MHHEA) was transferred from the University of Pittsburgh to the University of Maryland Libraries at the request of Dr. Stephen Thomas, director of the Center for Health Equity in the School of Public Health. The archive runs on EPrints software which is not actively supported by the Libraries. This poster outlines the methodology and workflows used to migrate the archive from EPrints to DRUM, including a comparison of software features, data analysis, and content organization.
