Eddie, ArchivesSpace requires a few different data elements to be present before a new Resource record can be saved. Based on this error, it looks like the MARC record does not have any date information where the ArchiveSpace MARCXML importer would expect dates to be present (i.e. dates : At least 1 item(s) is required). And yet, dates are not required in a MARC bibliographic record, which is why the file can still be completely valid but not import.
If you have dates in any of the likely places, like the 008 control field, or even if there are no dates worth mentioning but you add something like "undated" to a 245 field, subfield f, then I *think* your file will likely import fine. But if not, can you attach the file so that someone can take a look? I hope that helps, Mark ________________________________ From: archivesspace_users_group-boun...@lyralists.lyrasis.org <archivesspace_users_group-boun...@lyralists.lyrasis.org> on behalf of Eddie Clem <carl.c...@wilkes.edu> Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2020 4:18 PM To: archivesspace_users_group@lyralists.lyrasis.org <archivesspace_users_group@lyralists.lyrasis.org> Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] MARCXML Import Error Hi! I am trying to import a MARCXML file (for Resource) into ArchivesSpace. I am getting the following error. I’ve searched the Help Center and Google, and I can’t figure out what it means. I’ve also validated the XML file with Oxygen, and it says “validation successful.” Can anyone help me decipher what this error means and how I can fix my file so that I can import them? Thanks!
