[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Past Perfect migration?

[Solek, VivianLea]

If you have questions about importing your data (not XML), I know you can export out of PastPerfect into a CSV excel file.  With version 2.8, you can import that directly into ASpace, after you have migrated the data to the import template.  Thanks to the work of Bobbi Fox and others, what used to be a plug-in for importing excel spreadsheets, is part of the core code with version 2.8.

Good luck with your migration.

Best,
VivianLea

I would recommend checking out the work that Lindsey Loeper did at UMBC to convert PastPerfect XML to EAD, presuming you could easily import the EAD into ASpace but I haven't tried it myself. See https://www2.archivists.org/sites/all/files/Module_18_CaseStudy_LindseyLoeper.pdf<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww2.archivists.org%2Fsites%2Fall%2Ffiles%2FModule_18_CaseStudy_LindseyLoeper.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Cvivianlea.solek%40kofc.org%7Cb9f9a2ac30694e94fee608d8e894c3da%7C8a4b69f88bb74be59eda6c40a157248c%7C0%7C1%7C637515072947961677%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=VpclPd9CsFZU2GiTBY2uLj1p%2F9I%2BrAWb4%2Bajju%2BfD5o%3D&reserved=0>, https://github.com/UMBC-Library/EAD-XML<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FUMBC-Library%2FEAD-XML&data=04%7C01%7Cvivianlea.solek%40kofc.org%7Cb9f9a2ac30694e94fee608d8e894c3da%7C8a4b69f88bb74be59eda6c40a157248c%7C0%7C1%7C637515072947971675%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=Rhj1Rl0bmedm3RehAddd7BKpNrQU%2FZr%2BbRyxwPfIYOA%3D&reserved=0>, etc.

Hello,

My institution is brand-new to ArchivesSpace and has been using Past Perfect for 20+ years. I'm hoping to be directed to documentation to help me plan how to migrate data from Past Perfect into ArchivesSpace. Has anyone already done this and could you point me to the documents/videos that helped you?

Thank you and apologies if this isn't an appropriate question for this group!

Sincerely,
Miranda
