Due to the challenging state budget situation in Illinois, Andrew Bullen of the Illinois State Library was asked to explore how the existing CONTENTdm collections could be migrated to another platform should the State Library be unable to pay its bill for its existing services. Andrew chose XTF, a resource at hand and a logical candidate for undertaking the transfer, and methods that were already available that would allow rapid migration. He describes in detail the process of transferring three collections that represented a reasonable cross section of Illinois Digital Archives content from CONTENTdm to XTF, and offers an evaluation of his test migration approach and lessons learned.
