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.
In 2024, the Illinois Digital Heritage Hub (IDHH), the Illinois Hub for the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), completed the migration of our aggregation server from a legacy system (REPOX) to an open source one created by DPLA’s Michigan Hub (Combine). In this session, the IDHH Project Coordinator will share the background and method of this project, including the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from this migration of aggregation server systems and how they can be applied to similar projects.
