<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Completely agreed, and I’d love to hear more about your process of migrating to ArchivesSpace. I’m just starting on a similar project, but I don’t think that
we’ll be ingesting too much EAD directly into ArchivesSpace at this point, so I’m still very unfamiliar with that process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In the meantime, if you’re importing EAD files into ArchivesSpace, do you also have an XML editor like oXygen? If so, then you could validate these documents
against a Schematron file that would tell you exactly where those errors occur. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I have honestly never written a Schematron file until just now (but I was very inspired at the EAD Hackathon!), but using the following example file (which
I just hastily put together) with oXygen will show you exactly where those problems occur:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The error message currently driving me crazy is "archival_object/dates/0/ end must not be before begin." I understand what it means, but finding the single incorrectly typed normalized date in the container
list of a long finding aid is nearly impossible. If error messages could include which line in the finding aid caused them to fail to import, it would be an enormous help.
