<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">You and Nathan probably already discovered this, but I just took a quick look at the attached file, and it appears that the problem is that there’s an entry for November 31<sup>st</sup> in there. Once I replaced
“1959-11-31” with “1959-11-30”, the file imported into ArchivesSpace without any issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’ve yet to really work on importing EAD into ArchivesSpace, but once I do, I hope that there will be a schematron file (or something similar) that will highlight exactly where these errors occur so that they
can be fixed a bit more easily. Has anyone else already created something like that, in order to check the validity of the normalized dates? I’m pretty sure that the TEI schema does this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are working on cleaning up our data and have found a few stubborn finding aids that won't import from the AT. The ArchivesSpace import error report gives us the following:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Status code: 200<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Status text: OK<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">{<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> "errors": ["Server error: #<:ValidationException: {:errors=>{\"dates/0/begin\"=>[\"not a valid date\"], \"dates/0/end\"=>[\"not a valid date\"]}}>"],<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> "saved": []<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">}<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, going through the EAD output from the Archivists Toolkit we don't get an error through schema validation, and a visual review of the EAD file has not shown any problems. Does anyone know what type of error this message is referring
to, and is there any chance that the import process could be more descriptive in giving a line number with the output?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have attached the EAD file for reference.<o:p></o:p></p>
