Description
Imports data XML file containing MARCXML records, or a Zip file containing XML files containing MARCXML records. The data from the records will be imported (currently using a fixed mapping) and inserted into WordPress posts. The plugin’s import process is tailored for MARCXML records containing information about archival material, such as those exported from the Archivists’ Toolkit.
This tool was created as part of the project, “Uncovering the Secrets of Brooklyn’s 19th Century Past: Creation to Consolidation,” funded by the Council on Library and Information Resources, with additional support from The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
