Chuck, To start with your finding aid doesn't have the right DOCTYPE declaration. Try substituting the version 1 DOCTYPE: <!DOCTYPE EAD PUBLIC "-//Society of American Archivists//DTD ead.dtd (Encoded Archival Description (EAD) Version 1.0)//EN" [ It's the exact same as the one you have but with "Version 1.0" added. If this still doesn't work then you may need to add an entry pointing the new DOCTYPE declaration to the version 1 DTD in your catalog file, but I'm betting your catalog file is correct. By the way, when I substituted in the correct DOCTYPE declaration I found a few parsing errors. This may lead to other problems with Panorama. Let me know if you need any more help with this. P.S. The earliest pre-release versions of EAD version 1.0 still used the old public identifier for EAD beta. I'm not surprised that a few version 1.0 finding aids still use it.
