Thanks for pointing this out to me Michael. I have taken
the <archdesc> level attribute for granted (I assume you
meant the <archdesc> element). The tag library defines this
attribute:
Used to indicate the highest tier of materials being
described in the encoded finding aid.
Since the finding aid is describing one series among many
I assume this attribute should be set to "series" and the
level attributes for each of the C01s should indeed be
"subseries".
Thanks again for your help. This has given me a whole new
insight into EAD.
