One of the projects I managed for the Chicago Theological Seminary is a digital migration project. 

I worked on preparing, migrating digital archival collections from Omeka to CONTENTdm. The main objective of the was to help CTS’s collections to be more accessible and useable for the correct audience. That also meant that it could be sourced in arrigrating platforms for discoverability such as, The American Theological Library Association (Atla) Digital Library, a shared repository. Checking best practices for each platform and correcting metadata will eventually provide another access point for CTS’s collections, which is crucial for discovery and use.
