Migration from Archon to AtoM

[Mary Grace Kosta]

I know an organization that wants to move from Archon to AtoM. Is there anyone in the AtoM community that they can talk to regarding migration? Please email me at mkosta(at)csjcanada(dot)org. Thank you.

Hi Mary, 

Artefactual has done a number of Archon migrations - feel free to contact us if you're interested in paid migration support. Meanwhile, we've shared a fair bit of tips about migrating from Archon in the forum here over the years - I recommend that you search Archon (or label:migration Archon) in the online forum. A few particular posts: 

• All of these posts from this user were about migrating from Archon to AtoM and the differences between the systems. There are some good nuggets of info in these threads: https://groups.google.com/g/ica-atom-users/search?q=m.gorzalski%40gmail.com
• This thread includes a lot of back and forth and even some resources, such as community-shared scripts for parsing Archon data. I've linked to a response from me mid-thread that summarizes a number of other differences in Archon vs AtoM data that you'll have to account for in a migration, particularly if doing it using EAD 2002 XML: https://groups.google.com/g/ica-atom-users/c/skEzQUr5PJ4/m/O5OTHzZVAgAJ

Additionally, I've tried to summarize my general advice for performing AtoM migrations in the following slide deck:

I hope this helps,
