I am an idiot.

I learned too late that you cannot merge multiple libraries in the new Photos application. My wife has about 5 iPhotos libraries that she wants all in one place.

Is there any such thing as a application I can import all of of my Photos and iPhoto libraries into while preserving meta-data? Free or inexpensive would be ideal, but I'm not opposed to spending money to sort this out.

You can combine (iPhoto) libraries in Aperture, but that is no longer sold and was not free.

Use iPhoto Manager (Fat Cat software - not free but cheap) to merge all your iPhoto libraries into one master library complete with albums and meta data etc. Then import this überlibrary into Photos.
