Alison;
In the soon-to-be-released EAD 2002, <admininfo> has been unbundled and you will be able to use <accessrestrict> (and other former <admininfo> subelements) anywhere you can now use <did>, <scopecontent>, etc.
In EAD 1.0, though, it seems to me that you *can* do what you seem to want to do, which if I read your message correctly is to get an <accessrestrict> statement in your
<archdesc level="recordgrp">, you just have to wrap <accessrestrict> as follows:
<admininfo>
<accessrestrict>
<head>Restrictions on Access</head>
<p>Blah, blah, blah.</p>
</accessrestrict>
</admininfo>
<admininfo> is repeatable, so you can put this access restriction statment anywhere you want it after you close the </did> and before you open the <dsc>. Download Michael Fox's fonds.xml (Appendix A), in the section labelled "Download special sections of the EAD Cookbook" at <http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/ead/cookbookhelp.html>. You'll see how Michael has repeated <admininfo> several times within <archdesc> to allow flexibility in where the varous <admininfo> subelements are placed within the encoding.
