<span style="">Hi, Lev.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="">Short answer:<span style=""> </span>you can select “<span class="SpellE">otherlevel</span>” and then type in “sub-subseries” (even “sub-sub-subseries” and whatever else that’s needed).<span style="">
</span>You might need to update your display code, but that approach would keep the EAD valid. I'm attaching a screenshot for how to do that in ArchivesSpace.<span style=""> </span>That said, I would probably advise against doing that since then you’re on
the hook for making sure that there are no typos, <span class="SpellE">etc</span>….. and what, really, is a sub-subseries, or a sub-series, for that matter?
</span><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊. So, again, the display code might need to be updated, but nothing else would preclude you have having subseries children of other subseries.</span><span style=""></span></p>

<span style="">Longer response, which doesn't really add much: t</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">he closed list that ArchivesSpace uses for its "Archival Object Level" enumeration list comes
from the EAD schemas.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">Those schemas are based on ISAD(G) 3.1.4, which does not specify a closed list or definitions for different levels, I don’t think, but it does include a few different
examples such as “Sub-series”.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">In the first version of EAD, it looks like there were 9 valid options for the level of description, including “subseries”.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">EAD 2002 and EAD3 bump that up to 11 valid options.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">And starting with EAD2002, “</span><span class="SpellE" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">otherlevel</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">”
was added to the controlled list of values to provide users a way to specify any other level that was required locally.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">So, you can encode something like @level=’</span><span class="SpellE" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">otherlevel</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">’
and @</span><span class="SpellE" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">otherlevel</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">=’sub-subseries’ to add any local levels of description
that you want.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);"> </span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background: var(--white);">All that said, I still don't know the difference between a series and subseries (aside from the context, which would be indicated by having a series as a child of a series),
so I'm actually in favor of less values (e.g. removing subseries and just using series wherever that's needed) <span id="🙂">🙂. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="">I’m wondering if anyone out there has configured their instance to make sub-subseries level designations available.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="">I’m currently working with some very large collection imports where sub-subseries would be useful, and know that EAD allows for I think a maximum of twelve levels (or something faintly ridiculous), but also know that the out-of-the-box AS doesn’t
include a sub-subseries level designation. I know you can technically nest subseries as children under each other, but this feels like bad form and plays havoc with our display code. We could probably figure out something ourselves to hack in a sub-subseries
designation, but I wanted to see what/if anyone else was doing, as we’d like to try and build consistently with other institutions to make future inter-institutional collaboration go more smoothly.
</span></p>
