+## Importing Legacy Data
+
+Prerequisites: Postgres running and migrated, `psycopg2` installed (`pip install psycopg2-binary`), `03-data/` present at repo root.
+
+Scripts must be run in order — publications depend on fruits being present.
+
+### 1. Import fruits
+
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://osdb:osdb@localhost:5432/osdb?sslmode=disable python3 scripts/import_fruits.py
+```
+
+Imports fruits, synonyms, and fruit images from `03-data/obstsorten.xml`. Idempotent: upserts by `osdb_number`.
+
+### 2. Import publications
+
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://osdb:osdb@localhost:5432/osdb?sslmode=disable python3 scripts/import_publications.py
+```
+
+Imports publications from `03-data/osws.xml`. For each publication: upserts the row, loads cover image, links fruits, and imports PDFs and fruit images. Idempotent: clears and re-inserts linked data on re-run.
+
+## Managing Users
+
+Add a user and restart the backend to reload:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/create_user.sh <username> <password> >> users.env
+```
+
