<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Hi Bobbi,</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">...so this would get our raw data from Excel into ASpace without going through an EAD transformation? I'm migrating from an ANCIENT DOS system which I've been able to get out to excel. Once I have that cleaned up, if I and my IT partner can skip the transformation step, that would be beyond fabulous! There are only 15 fields to come over, so it would be very easy to map them to your template.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Looking forward to your response, which might make my whole month!</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">All the best,</font><br>

<ul style="padding-left: 36pt"><font size="2" face="Calibri"> The intention is not to completely reproduce a Finding Aid as presented in an EAD XML, or to allow for every permutation of Archival Object creation within ArchivesSpace. We are aiming for the "80% rule"; that is, at least 80% of the work that would be done interactively can be replaced by an excel spreadsheet; additional refinements to individual archival objects (such as addition of agents-as-subjects, assignment of locations to top-level containers, etc.) would take place interactively.</font></ul>
