    <p>If you haven't already, I would recommend assessing whether there
      is any data in your 1.1.2 system that wouldn't be included if you
      exported your records as EAD:</p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.loc.gov/ead/eadschema.html">https://www.loc.gov/ead/eadschema.html</a></p>
    <p>I never used 1.x. But assuming there was an API method to export
      it as there is now...</p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#get-an-ead-representation-of-a-resource">https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#get-an-ead-representation-of-a-resource</a></p>
    <p>...you could export then import into a blank 3.4.1 system with
      this...</p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/?shell#create-a-new-job-and-post-input-files">https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/?shell#create-a-new-job-and-post-input-files</a></p>
    <p>Note that it needs to be EAD 2002, not the newer EAD3. And it is
      best to import one EAD file per job, as it can cause indexing
      problems if you do too many in one job.</p>
    <p>A big change in recent years is that, since 3.2.0, ArchivesSpace
      no longer comes packaged with the search engine. Now you have to
      set up and run your own separate Solr server:<br>
    </p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://archivesspace.org/archives/7151">https://archivesspace.org/archives/7151</a></p>
    <p>Also, if your old ArchivesSpace system was just set up as a
      trial, it may be using the built-in Apache Derby database. But
      that is only recommended for demonstration purposes, so you will
      need to set up and run your own MySQL or MariaDB database (or use
      some cloud solution.)<br>
