dc.description.abstractThe University of Houston Libraries Special Collections is migrating finding aids from Archon to ArchivesSpace. In addition, a cross-departmental team is working to migrate the UHL Digital Library from CONTENTdm to a Hyku repository. Envisioning our finding aids within a new digital curation ecosystem, it became apparent this migration project was also a data quality project. Focusing on data migration, systems integration, and standards-adherence, we undertook upgrading approximately 260 finding aids and creating minimal records for 100 “stub” records. This poster outlines our migration path into ArchivesSpace and shares strategies for creating DACS-compliant single-level descriptions for unprocessed materials.en_US
