The Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference (#umdcc25) and the Minnesota Digital Library Annual Meeting (#mndiglib25) will be held jointly on May 6–7, 2025. It will be an in-person event held in Saint Paul, Minnesota at the Union Depot.
This session will discuss the logistical process of migrating 3D digital models hosted on Sketchfab to a self-hosted instance of the Smithsonian's Voyager viewer. Motivated by the recent changes taking place at Sketchfab, I will discuss the advantages and challenges of this migration process in the context of a curator with limited web hosting experience.
