<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We had a similar problem at Duke with nested lists in <controlaccess>. We decided just to flatten the hierarchy to get the data to import.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you’re not concerned about preserving the hierarchy (indentation?) of your items and just want the data to import, I’ve attached some XSLT that will copy an entire EAD as is, but “un-nest” lists within <arrangement>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
