I did this (when that granular level of linkage was warranted) at my former institution by creating a “processed” event record from the accession record that linked to the resulting archival object (which can be most easily found by typing the archival object’s URI into the type ahead box under linked records). We did this infrequently, but it was helpful when we wanted to find just that one particular copy of a circular (of which we may have had many copies in an artificial collection) that was donated by a VIP. But, yes, events do allow you to link from accession records to archival object records, and vice versa.

We’re currently capturing this information in the Disposition Note of each Accession record, but we would definitely like to link to accessioned materials more directly than just at the Resource level. -k From: archivesspace_users_group-boun...@lyralists.lyrasis.org [mailto:archivesspace_users_group-boun...@lyralists.lyrasis.org] On Behalf Of Jordon Steele Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 9:57 AM To: Archivesspace Users Group Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Linking related accessions below collection level Hi all, We have an interest in linking archival objects (i.e. the levels below collection level) in resource records back to the accessions they came from. The situation that precipitated discussion about this possibility was that we have one series of materials that is associated with multiple accession records. Unless I’m missing something, the only way one can currently link to accessions from resource records is at the collection level. There is no “Related accessions” feature at levels below that. The way we’re doing this now is creating an accruals note at the appropriate level and typing the accession number into the free text field, but having a direct link between the two would be handy. For born-digital collections, we are also linking the original containers from which the digital content came to the appropriate level in the resource record using the instance module. I’m wondering if others in the community have discussed or considered this before. Thanks!
