DHPSNY - DRUPAL 10 UPGRADE AND MIGRATION

Drupal 10 Upgrade and Migration

Documentary Heritage and Preservation Services for New York (DHPSNY) is a statewide program dedicated to supporting archives, libraries, museums, and other institutions that preserve New York’s historical records and library resources. Through free planning and assessment services, educational programs, and outreach, DHPSNY helps organizations enhance preservation practices, improve accessibility, and document underrepresented populations and topics. Their efforts also aim to increase public awareness and usage of these invaluable resources.

Business Need

DHPSNY partnered with Sanmita to upgrade its website from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 ahead of Drupal’s expiration deadline. The project focused on a seamless transition to the latest version while maintaining an uninterrupted user experience. It also involved migrating to a new hosting platform and improving the site’s performance, accessibility, and functionality to better serve users.

Key Challenges

DHPSNY needed to upgrade its Drupal website to meet current standards before the platform’s expiration deadline, requiring a complete rebuild. Ensuring compliance with web accessibility guidelines was a critical priority, necessitating the integration of features to enhance usability for all users. The project also demanded maintaining website stability throughout the migration process while building a platform that could support future growth and adaptability. These challenges required a strategic approach to ensure a seamless transition, improved functionality, and a robust foundation for long-term extensibility.
