Hi Kate, I recently looked into this for a client. The good news is that it's possible. See my comment at the bottom of: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace
Apart from the things you need to do on the DSpace side, you also need to touch base with the handle.net folks at CNRI, to redirect the resolution of the existing handle prefix to your DSpace server. Things that are not possible to my knowledge: - Resolve SOME handles for a particular prefix without resolving ALL of them. When you make the switch at CNRI, the other third party IR won't be resolving the other handles anymore. - Register handles for *different* prefixes (new items). While the usecase of "keep my old handles and their old prefix working after a migration" works fine, the new repository will only register/mint handles for one particular prefix. It might be a nice customization/addition in the future to have different handle prefixes for different collections/communities, both for existing items as for new ones. hope this helps, Bram [image: logo] Bram Luyten 250-B Suite 3A, Lucius Gordon Drive, West Henrietta, NY 14586 Esperantolaan 4, Heverlee 3001, Belgium atmire.com <http://atmire.com/website/?q=services&utm_source=emailfooter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=braml> On 9 January 2017 at 17:54, Kate Pechekhonova <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I need to migrate content from a third-party IR to our IR (powered by > DSpace).
