The Wiener Holocaust Library

The Wiener library offers an API where it is possible to download the contents in a custom XML model. The import workflow is divided in three different ingestion processes which will ingest different levels and types of descriptions:

• Collections
• Pre-1963 correspondance subseries
• Pre-1963 correspondance nested collections

The configuration for each process is as follows:

• Collections:

  1. Create a dataset using the URLSet harvesting option. Paste the elements contained in the collectionsURLSet.tsv file. It is possible that a header containing the token for the API is required.
  2. Add the following ECT transformation:
     1. soutron_to_ead.tsv
  3. Convert the files and ingest them with no further options.

• Pre-1963 correspondance subseries:

  1. Create a dataset using the URLSet harvesting option. Paste the elements contained in the pre1963info.tsv file. It is possible that a header containing the token for the API is required.
  2. Add the following ECT transformation:
     1. soutron_to_ead.tsv
  3. Convert the files and ingest them with no further options.

• Pre-1963 correspondance nested collections:

  1. Create a dataset using the URLSet harvesting option and indicating that the descriptions should be place beneath the description with id gb-003348-wl3000_9_1. Paste the elements contained in the pre1963.tsv file. It is possible that a header containing the token for the API is required.
  2. Add the following ECT transformation:
     1. soutron_to_ead.tsv
  3. Convert the files and ingest them with no further options.
