Here are some notes about scope and assumptions for the migration of the OH microsite into the digital collections.
Common identifier
We'll base the correspondence between source and destination records on the "oral history transcript number". For the Rauscher OH, for instance, both source and destination records contain this ID, which is "0560": https://digital.sciencehistory.org/works/gr4xnkk in the citation, and https://oh.sciencehistory.org/oral-histories/rauscher-iii-frank-j under "interview details".
Migration:
We plan to migrate the following metadata elements from the Oral History microsite into the digital collections:
Interview
Sponsor field
Interviewee
Portrait
Birth and death
Date and place
Education
Date, Institution, degree, subject
Career
Start and end dates, institution, role
Awards
Date, award
Interviewer
Name
Profile
Institutions -> FAST headings
Institution names under Education and Career will be converted, where possible, to the equivalent FAST term.
Overwriting data in production
The abovementioned fields are all currently BLANK in the digital collections. As we refine our migration code, the blank fields will be populated with successive versions of data harvested from the microsite, each replacing the previous one.
Careful: this means if you enter any data *manually* into any of the fields that are being migrated, that data will be replaced with fresh microsite data next time we run a migration.
