  Hi,

  You have two ways to do this.

  1. OOB using SharePoint Content and structure utility

  Here are the detailed steps to do it: http://blog.henryong.com/2008/01/21/how-to-movemigrate-sharepoint-list-itemsdocuments-and-preserve-metadata-properties-at-the-same-time/

  2. Write custom steps so that you can do Column mapping also.

  here is a sample code to do it, you need to create another library with new content type applied and do column mapping in code.\

  //Make copy of old dates in created and modified varialbles and do updates after movement
  item["Created"] = created;     //Creation date of old file(Source file)
   item["Modified"] = modified;          //Modified date of old file
   item.Update();
