<span style="color:black">Moving from one database to another is anything but a smooth transition.  A panel of archivists will share their experience of cleaning data, organizing and “packing” finding aids, and migrating them from one database to another.  As
 with a household move, we encountered cluttered closets, broken items, and long lost treasures we forgot we owned.  In our commitment to transparency, we will discuss the real and arduous challenges we encountered in our database migrations and will share
 our programming fixes, plans for standardizing our data, and lessons we learned along the way.  No archives have completely perfect finding aids which can cause database migration to be a seemingly impossible task.  This panel's goal is to candidly share the
 hurdles we encountered and solutions we implemented in our own database migrations in order to make yours less challenging.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:black">This panel format pop-up will present on a number of databases from which we migrated from including Archivists' Toolkit, Archon, ReDiscovery, and Homegrown Databases into Archives Space.  We will offer our solutions to commonly encountered
 challenges and pitfalls and show helpful tips and tools. We will share lessons learned and solicit a robust question and answer period in order to best address unique audience inquiries.  We encourage anyone who is thinking about a database migration, completed
 one and may have insight to share during our Q & A, or anywhere in between to attend our session.   In addition to our panel presentations, we will highlight a newly created Awesome ArchivesSpace List that can serve as a wonderful resource tool for those in
