In 2019, the H. Furlong Baldwin Library at the Maryland Center for History and Culture began two large-scale migration projects to increase accessibility of collections and improve collection management and digital preservation. One project centered on the implementation of ArchivesSpace and required staff to migrate all existing finding aids, container lists, agents, and subject terms into this system. Simultaneously, staff migrated all previously digitized material and accompanying metadata into a newly implemented digital asset management system (DAMS). While these projects were underway, the organization as a whole was rebranding and preparing to launch a new website, so staff also had the opportunity to design an online Digital Collections portal for the public display of DAMS content. This poster includes the general workflows and procedures for all three projects; example records from each system involved; details about ongoing work required for each project; and next steps and plans for the future.
