Wrap up

We ran the migration successfully in production on May 5th 2021.

The migration code was removed from the codebase in pull request #1137:https://github.com/sciencehistory/scihist_digicoll/issues/1137 ).

In case our testing above missed any files or metadata, a backup of the microsite code, files and database will remain in Glacier Deep Archive storage at  s3://chf-hydra-backup/oral_history_microsite_legacy_data/oh_final_backup.tar.gz .
