Hello, all! My institution will be starting a project to migrate our two separate ArchivesSpace instances into a single, shared instance (maintaining multiple repositories). Has anyone else attempted this? I have a feeling that it will involve a lot of API work and challenges may include:
* Reconciling duplicate/slightly varying Agents and Subjects * Potentially losing events, background jobs, and locations of the instance that is migrated * Potentially losing date and creator information of migrated objects (maybe?) * Anything else? It’s an unenviable project, but it will hopefully be beneficial! I’ve submitted a Jira ticket about a database migrator – if people have thoughts and opinions, please feel free to comment on this or the list! https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-884 On a slightly related note, do people have ideas on how to assess and compare agents and subjects for reconciliation?: On a slightly further afield question (and unfortunately, one that I’m passing along for a colleague but that I personally don’t have experience with), I wanted to ask if anyone has been able to tweak the LCNAF plug in to direct it to genre terms as well? Thanks for your thoughts and help!
