<p>Hi Janet,</p>
<p>beside what Alexandre pointed out, there is an other free Open
source tool to convert ArcMap mxd files into QGIS projects
(MapQonverter, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/WhereGroup/mapqonverter">https://github.com/WhereGroup/mapqonverter</a>). The
difference to SLYR is, that MapQonverter must be used within
ArcMap as an ArcMap Python toolbox. So it is only useful if you
still have an ArcMap licence to work with.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
<p>Stefan<br>

<div>Hello Janet,</div>

<div>It will really depend on what you mean by all your work.
The projects and layouts are hard to come by, as they are in
closed source format, which ain't interoperable with other
software. But the data may be in one of hundreads of formats
readable by QGIS, like Shapefiles and Filegeodatabases.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's a plugin that tries to import QrcGIS styles into
QGIS, but not sure what it can do. It's called SLYR, there a
paid version and a community version/</div>
