[Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: [Archivesspace_member_reps] Migrating Data from Eloquent Systems to ArchivesSpace

[Jason Loeffler]

Hi Cheryl,

Eloquent is a little bit of a black box, unfortunately. Could you send over
a couple of example records? With those in hand, I can better advise you on
various migration tactics. Do you host Eloquent yourself? Do you have
direct access to its database?

Jason
