The Import Repositories admin page is the shared place to manage large repository-backed imports. It starts with Zenodo and National Gallery of Art (NGA), and is designed so future repositories can use the same operator surface while keeping their own run mode.
This page is available to administrators who can run repository imports. Open it from the account menu (top right) -> Import repositories.

​
Choose a repository

Use the repository picker at the top of the page:
  • Zenodo opens the managed-import controls for the automated Zenodo OAI-PMH harvest.
  • National Gallery of Art opens the durable batch controls for NGA Open Data imports.
The picker keeps each repository’s workflow separate while keeping the page title and navigation stable as more repositories are added.

Zenodo managed imports

The Zenodo panel lets you configure, trigger, schedule, and monitor the Temporal-managed Zenodo harvest from the browser. Use it when you want the platform to run the import now or on a recurring cadence. The panel shows:
  • the current schedule state and cadence,
  • the parameters used by the next run,
  • the incremental watermark used for the next import,
  • actions to Run now, Save schedule, or Delete schedule,
  • recent run status and per-run detail.
See Manage the Zenodo import (admin) for the full Zenodo workflow. The NGA panel lets a system administrator stage and start a durable NGA snapshot batch from the browser. The batch uses the same BulkImportBatch / BulkImportRecord ledger as the console workflow, so it can still be monitored, resumed, or retried from the operator environment if the web-triggered runner stops. The panel accepts:
  • target project, optional collection, and creator ID or email,
  • classification, limit, and offset for snapshot selection,
  • rate limit, runner limit, fetch timeout, and progress cadence,
  • options to include existing NGA assets or refresh the snapshot before staging.
After Stage and run, the page shows recent batches and per-batch durable ledger detail. The command snippets remain in the panel as the fallback path to stage, drain, resume/retry, or inspect a batch from the console environment. The panel also links to the interactive Import from NGA page for smaller selected imports and to the detailed NGA runbook. See NGA bulk imports for the complete operator workflow.
