Texas After Violence Project Content Migration

Texas After Violence Project (TAVP) is a community-based archive that records, preserves, and provides access to oral history interviews that document experiences with state and interpersonal violence. For my capstone, I migrated about one hundred interviews to Mukurtu Content Management System. This required setting up the structure of the Mukurtu instance, establishing controlled vocabularies for descriptive metadata, implementing the controlled vocabularies by standardizing and creating new metadata, ingesting the interviews and metadata, and writing documentation for the organization. My project enhances the discoverability of the materials in TAVP’s collection, allowing users to more easily find what they need.
