[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Finding aid date

[Lora J. Davis]

Thank you. Yes, finding aid title is now exporting as expected (thank goodness!). I haven't run a test with a record containing a finding aid note yet, but suspect it is also corrected. Having <accessrestrict> back is a HUGE weight off for us as we have some complicated restriction notes for our institutional records. 

We've never had cause to use subtitle, so I can't report how the migrator handles that info.  The only data we lost with the AT-to-AS migrator was item-level (NOT collection level) restriction notes. Our student workers will be busily copy/pasting in the coming months...

If that field was used in the AT, I can confirm that the subtitle is still migrated over to ArchivesSpace since the AT-to-ASpace migration tool will append that value to the finding aid title field.  I haven’t tested ASpace’s EAD importer to confirm that it does the same, though.

Our stylesheets draw on this date to generate an authorship statement along the lines of "Finding aid prepared by <author>, <date>."  Since the finding aid date is not ending up anywhere in the exported XML we're left with "Finding aid prepared by John Smith, ."  Minor inconvenience, but annoying.
