[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Error when creating PDF Finding Aid Export

[Seth Shaw]

Your guess that "Michigan Women: First & Founders" is causing the failure
is probably correct. ArchivesSpace won't encode those ampersands for you.
We explicitly train our staff to replace ampersands with `&` but we
still occasionally see these errors pop up when someone copy/pastes text
and misses one (mostly in citation URLs in notes). Just search for the
offending phrase and update the corresponding value.
