<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a (thankfully small) number of finding aids with indexes that were imported into ArchivesSpace and I'm now trying to decide if they're worth salvaging. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, the George S. Messersmith papers finding aid has this index: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.lib.udel.edu_ud_spec_findaids_html_mss0109.html-23FAIndexhead&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=F0JE8U9-xhxe_nE7d7aEUi-uqfKqvYJ222bS0oz9mko&m=xLkM0DD4UfOnJRjPs61RZsZ-WOs-dvkPnS8cfhJFstY&s=PY6BpHESPX7ZVtWEtFvd0LWc1YpKvVJm77x9l5P45EQ&e=">http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/findaids/html/mss0109.html#FAIndexhead</a>
(The EAD is visible here: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.lib.udel.edu_ud_spec_findaids_xml_mss0109.xml&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=F0JE8U9-xhxe_nE7d7aEUi-uqfKqvYJ222bS0oz9mko&m=xLkM0DD4UfOnJRjPs61RZsZ-WOs-dvkPnS8cfhJFstY&s=ShihSbWDlGeYpbHejVDlsTOJe0fKJYKgkJifg33KybI&e=">http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/findaids/xml/mss0109.xml</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The import populated only "Name" and "Type", striping out the <ptrgrp> and the <ref> it contained. I assume I could go in and add back the information from the <ref>, but it doesn't look like there's a way to group multiple <ref> for a
single Name/Type; I'd just have to repeat it (over 30 times, for some of them!).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My gut feeling is that this is a lot of work for something that is going to look terrible and, as such, be minimally useful. I could just make a PDF of the old index and link to it to preserve the information. We've had some uniquely
formed appendices that I've already had to address that way.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anybody tried to fix an imported index? If so, how and was it worth your time?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
