The UC QuakeStudies digital repository stores over 150,000 items arising from the Canterbury earthquakes. In this case study we review the recent migration of the archive from a custom code solution to the open-source Islandora digital repository platform (Drupal, Fedora Commons, Solr). We describe motivations, the metadata changes (Dublin Core, DC Terms, schema.org, RDF, etc.) and technical challenges and solutions, and demo some new features.
