Sponsor field ⬅ correction: this was actually entered manually, and was not part of the migration.

Careful: this means if you enter any data *manually* into any of the destination fields in the Digital Collections, that data will be replaced with fresh microsite data next time we run a migration.
Test plan
For a set of sample records, testers will want to check each item The idea here is to compare each sample interview on staging in the digital collections against its source in the micrositewith its corresponding microsite record. If everything looks good, we’ll run the import in production during the first week of May. Careful: don’t actually change the metadata in response to this test, as it will be overwritten anyway.
Sample records:
Interviews with multiple interviewees: Cole/Verma, Aitchisons, …
...
Other outliers: Schoemaker, …
Metadata to checkCareful: don’t actually change the metadata in response to this test, as it will be overwritten anyway.
