Thanks for the reply. My particular use of iPhoto is for documents that I have photographed from archives, libraries, and other repositories across the US and Europe. For each one I have added a complete citation and notes. I am so relieved to hear that all my years of work on this will migrate with the new app!

You will still be able to open your iPhoto Libraries in iPhoto, even after migrating them to Photos. So you can compare the metadata after migrating and make sure, all your information migrated properly.
