Description

Folklife had to move all their boxes offsite and barcoded all those boxes. Those barcodes are stored in Excel as a manifest, but now desire to have that barcode information in ASpace. There's no direct connection point between the box and the item available in the existing spreadsheet. Barcodes used previously were just incremental numbers, not real barcodes. Spreadsheet also contains location, but unsure if those locations are already in ASpace.

Location of existing Excel file: (A copy is available, but accuracy/currency must be confirmed)

Matching based on strings.

Should check with Greg if anything has changed since June. If there were changes, they would have updated the spreadsheet since that is their primary, active source of information on containers/locations.

Mark needs to get an updated spreadsheet of data from the CFCH / Greg before we proceed, but if anyone starts on this before, ping me and I'll share the old file (which will work as a start!).
