Hi all,
We are formulating a plan to import our 7000+ EAD finding aids into ArchivesSpace and are wondering how other institutions have handled top container ranges. For example, we have finding aids coded like this: <c02><did><container type="box" label="Box">3-4</container><unittitle>Photographs</unittitle></did></c02> This imports into ASpace just fine (yay!), but of course also creates a top container for Box 3-4 instead of Box 3 and Box 4 (boo!). We assume this will be an issue later when we integrate with Aeon. The most obvious solution to this problem appears to be to change the encoding to: <c02><did><container type="box" label="Box">3</container><unittitle>Photographs</unittitle></did></c02> <c02><did><container type="box" label="Box">4 </container><unittitle>Photographs</unittitle></did></c02> For several reasons, this is not a viable solution for us. Have other institutions figured out a way to deal with this issue that does not include editing the EAD in individual finding aids?
