<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>...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>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>

8 years ago a previous archivist started an Archives Space
installation, but then left the organization, and knowledge
of their Archives Space system disappeared. Recently by
asking the right questions I found the Virtual Machine

assuming that I need to do the upgrade in several steps, I
would like to know what intermediate versions would be the
key steps to upgrade to in order to get all of the database
migrations. Or alternatively, can somebody point me to
information on how to migrate the database over that span of
1.1.2 to 3.4.1 ? I scoured the online information on
upgrading A.S., and have not found anything sufficiently
helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
