(WHS Archives) ArchivesSpace -- Resource -- EAD Export

Exporting EAD from ASpace

1. If not already done so, import MARCxml Resource Record from Alma, and merge into the EAD Resource Record (the presence of subject headings is a strong indicator of the MARC already being imported) [to be done by Cataloging Archivist]
   

2. Publish all at collection level, this checks the box for "Publish?" for all fields.

3. Export PDF for review and make needed edits

4. Export -- Download EAD -- check
   

   1. Include unpublished

   2. Include <dao> tags

   3. Use numbered <c> tags [very important, otherwise contents list will not display correctly]
      

5. Open xml in <oXygen/>

6. Save as:
   L:\\LIBARC\LIBARC SHARED\Archives Cataloging and EAD\EAD\ASpace\[file name]
    File name = last part of EAD ID ; for example, use highlighted portion: uw-whs-m2001028
   L:\\LIBARC\LIBARC SHARED\Archives Cataloging and EAD\EAD\ASpace\m2001028
