Subject: Re: Archon to ArchivesSpace Migration Problems & Questions

The first alpha release of the refactored Archon migration tool has been posted to https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1278

Please test and let us know what you find. Please keep in mind it's incomplete and we just want to make sure it's able to migrate all Archon record types without failing at this point.

Good morning all,

                 I have performed migrations from Archon to ArchivesSpace successfully. I have then upgraded to the most recent version of ArchivesSpace (v.1.3.0) for each of my instances. This all works better locally (MacBook for me). I have a few questions regarding problems we are noticing with the migrations. I do not know who to ask specifically, but here it goes:


1.       Public Interface Special Characters & Diacritics:

a.       Example: Alcée Fortier papers, 1894-1911 in Archon changes to Alc√©e Fortier papers in ArchivesSpace (v.1.04-v.1.3.0).

2.       Public Interface Scope & Content Notes: these are migrated to ArchivesSpace as large text blobs; they were formatted in Archon (indentation, paragraphs, etc.)

3.       Public Interface Repositories Odd Behavior:

a.       Are all “types” supposed to appear when selecting Repositories? It seems that if you select a repository, it should show you the collections only  OR signify the associated collection for each object/type in question

b.      When selecting a repository, the appropriate collections appear but “global” appears with results below the selected repository:

4.       Classifications appear to be duplicated:

5.       Components show [b] and [/b] OR [i] and [/i] in lists and headers:

6.       Can the Collections be sorted by Collection #/Identifier?

Thank you for any and all help regarding these issues.

Thanks,

Phil
