In iPhoto, I had all of my photos organized in Albums. When Apple migrated my photos from iPhoto to Photos, it emptied out all of my albums. Is there a way for me to get my album content back without having to manually go through all 15,000 photos?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
How did you migrate your iPhoto library to Photos?
You albums should be accessible from the sidebar. If the sidebar is not open use the key combination of Option+Command+S to open it.

I actually didn't do a thing. It was a automatic update. The albums are still there, but there either aren't any pictures in them or there are only a fraction of the ones that should be in there.
I guess I've learned my lesson about automatic updates! I just don't understand what tore them out of their albums.
That's where the Albums I made in iPhoto are! But when you change from Maverick to El Capitan Photos opens up without the sidebar NOT showing. So Old Toad you were right -- go to photos then view then click Show Sidebar and there they are just as I made them!!!! Eureka!!! Thank you Old Toad!!! You saved me from utter frustration with 70,000 pictures organized in many albums!!!
See my post in response to OLD TOAD!
Do you have a folder in the sidebar titled "iPhoto Events" and does if have albums inside for all of your iPhoto Events? You did check in those albums for your photos, right?
Upgrade from iPhoto to Photos Emptied my Albums
