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.
