Vss2svn has moved to http://code.google.com/p/vss2svn/ but is no longer
in active development. There is a mailing list and there have been a
few questions/answers over the last few months but it is not exactly
high traffic. However, we used this to convert some repositories with
success, the labels are imported into a /labels/ folder. If your
archive contains multiple projects then you may need to do a bit of work
filtering the labels into separate tags folders but that's up to you.
In the end we mostly extracted (dump filtered) the projects that were
still active into new svn repositories and left the whole converted
archive repo as read-only access for reference.

I second that, I learn a lot from this list...
