Hello Archives Space Group,
If your institution recently migrated or are in the process of migrating to
Archives Space then I am wondering if you might be interested in joining me for
a panel discussion at SAA in 2018. I hope for this panel to address our
institutions’ migration process, hurdles encountered along the way, and fixes
made in order to facilitate a smooth migration (or as smooth as you could
render)?
I know that this is short notice, we are in the midst of migration at our
University ourselves, but I do not want to pass up the opportunity to present
on this important topic and to perhaps share some lessons learned to others who
may be getting ready to migrate.
Currently, I have myself, who can talk to the planning and implementation of
our migration from Archon to Archives Space, a member from VCU (Virginia
Commonwealth University) who is willing to share her recent migration from
Archivist's Toolkit to Archives Space, and our programmer, who can address the
1's and 0's of our migration process.
Varied former database platforms may offer more traffic for this potential
presentation so please do not feel that you have to be migrating from either
Archon or Archivists Toolkit. If this sounds interesting to you, can you
respond asap to this message with your contact information, migration database
and what you think SAA attendees would benefit from hearing from your lessons
learned? I would be overjoyed at the prospect of the opportunity to present as
a group at SAA this coming year and since the deadline is tonight, I will
finalize my proposal by 8pm.
Cheers,
Christina R. Luers, CA
Archives Collection Specialist
