<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Francesca,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just did a quick test of adding a bulk date to ArchivesSpace, and here's what I got in the EAD export:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <unitdate normal="1960/1985" type="bulk">bulk</unitdate></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since the EAD-to-PDF transformation does not look at the unitdate @normal values, that's why the only thing you see in your PDF file is "bulk" (if my hunch is correct, that is, and you don't have any data in ArchivesSpace's "date expression" field). So,
I'd say that there are two ways to fix this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Update the ArchivesSpace exporter to be more like AT's EAD export, which would duplicate the date values in the EAD export (e.g. ..."normal="1960/1985">1960-1985... )</li><li>Update the PDF style sheet to use the @normal values when it would make sense to.</li></ol>
<div>My vote would be for the second one. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd also add, though, that the ASpace exporter should not include the word "bulk" in the unitdate field (that's what @type="bulk" is for), and I definitely wouldn't recommend recording those bulk dates in multiple places in the ASpace database just to
get them to display. But, that would fix things the quickest, I suppose.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does that sound about right, or is it a different issue altogether?</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When exporting records from Archivesspace to create a pdf finding aid the bulk dates don’t transfer. Please see attached screenshots. I have entered the bulk dates in archivesspace, but the pdf doesn’t show the dates. Instead of displaying
the years in the field for bulk dates it says “bulk”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
