Creating an [[archival institution]] record in ICA-AtoM also creates an associated [[authority record]]. In order to delete all traces of an [[archival institution]] from the system, both the [[archival institution]] record '''and''' the [[authority record]] must be deleted. However, if you wish to keep the [[authority record]] (if, for example, the institution has been used as a [[creator]] or other [[Nname]] [[access point]] in an [[archival description]]), delete the [[archival institution]] record only.
