<p>Hello Fellow ASpacers,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am wondering if anybody out there can shed some light on the following error messages I'm getting when I try to import two large (17MB and 9.2MB) and "old" legacy EAD FA's into ASpace.  No doubt there are some issues mapping the older encoding in these
 files to ASpace but all I'm getting are <NoMethodError>'s, so I am not sure if it is the encoding or the size of the FA's that are causing the problems (or some other completely separate issue).  
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>First the error messages from the import page:</p>
