[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Error importing accession CSV

[Reese, Terry P.]

Looks like an the parser believes that your data should be in UTF8 and that there are a sequence of bytes that don’t conform to UTF8.  I’ve not used the csv importer – I know that in some cases, when saving data as UTF8, data gets written with a BOM marker by some tools.  I’ve found that this is primarily a windowism (though there is other tools that do it) – and many parsing tools have difficulty if this data is present.

I say that – without being completely familiar with the actual import code, just my own experience building and working with parsing tools.  Without taking a closer look at the actual data itself – I’m just guessing a little bit.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Error importing accession CSV

Good morning all,

I'm working on importing our accession information in csv format, and keep getting this error:
[cid:ii_ihoxjni20_151632bafde0f094]
​
I had success with importing a smaller test file earlier in our implementation process, so I'm not sure what it's getting hung up on here. Has anyone else seen this error? Any pointers are appreciated.

Best,
Helen
