Archival description view screen with context menu box on right


The context menu box provides a series of links to records relating to the current description. The links available on the context menu box vary by record type. Each is described separately below.


Archival description


1. Archival institution: links to the archival institution holding the material described.


2. Creator: links to the authority record of the corporate body(ies), person(s) or family(ies) registered as the creator(s) of the material.


3. Related descriptions: shows the hierarchy of arrangement in which the current record (highlighted) is situated and provides links to the related descriptions in the hierarchy. Descriptions that contain lower levels (child records) can be expanded or collapsed to show or hide the links to the child descriptions.


4. Physical storage: shows the physical location of the records.


5. Export

Shows export options for the current record. Clicking on one of the options will produce an xml export file for the record. See UM-6.3 Export records.


Authority records


6. Creator of: links to the archival descriptions for which the entity is registered as the creator.


Archival institutions


7. Holdings: links to archival descriptions of material held by the institution.

  • Typically a repository is registered only at the highest level of description: typically fonds, collection or series, depending on institutional practices.
