Here are some notes about scope and assumptions for the migration of the OH microsite into the digital collections.

Migration:
We plan to migrate the following metadata elements from the Oral History microsite into the digital collections:
Interview
Sponsor field ⬅ correction: this was actually entered manually, and was not part of the migration.
Interviewee
Portrait
Birth and death
Date and place
Education
Date, Institution, degree, subject
Career
Start and end dates, institution, role

Connection between interview and profile

The idea here is to compare each sample interview on staging in the digital collections with 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 any metadata in the digital collections (staging or production) in response to this test, as it will be overwritten anyway.
Careful 2: If the data is wrong in both the microsite and the digital collections staging site, feel free to fix the problem on the microsite, but we won’t consider that a problem with the migration code.
Here’s a spreadsheet for notes:https://us-partner-integrations.egnyte.com/msoffice/open/bcd2bf35-56af-40f6-bf5a-9cf1243b4321/edit/315chestnut.egnyte.com/7bb3da75-b5b8-4f3d-9edd-6db1002a1bd9/Testing mapping from microsite to digital collections.xlsx. Or maybe we can just take notes on this page.
Any problems we identify that are widespread can go into GitHub as issues for Eddie to work on.
Problems that demonstrably affect only one or two records are probably easiest to fix manually in the digital collections once the migration is complete (early May, hopefully.) Make a note and come back to them.
Sample records:
Interviews with multiple interviewees: Cole/Verma, Aitchisons, …
