Using R to Migrate Archival Metadata into EAD
Channel: Andy Meyer
Date: 2019-03-29

This is a short video walkthrough to accompany an article I wrote for the Society of American Archivists Electronic Records Section blog. That article and this video are a short introduction to a set of files I developed as part of a project to migrate legacy finding aids into ArchivesSpace. Saying that makes it seem very complex...but I think the process is actually quite straightforward and could have a wide variety of applications. I hope this video will help explain the article and demonstrate how easy and extendable this process really is.
