Abstract: From October 2017 through January 2019, the North Carolina Digital Heritage Center (NCDHC) undertook a content management system migration of over 44,000 library digital collection objects, comprising over 2 million individual files of varying types and their associated metadata, produced over a ten-year period. This case study describes NCDHC’s experience evaluating potential systems, navigating vendor relationships, exporting and improving data, migration logistics, adapting existing workflows, and communicating with stakeholders.
