Authority records

Main Page > User manual > UM-3 Add / edit content > UM-3.2 Add / edit authority records

Authority records are structured into information areas based on the International Council on Archives' International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR). This section describes how to create, edit, and delete authority records. The data entry pages listed below give detailed notes and explanations on every field included on the edit page; where there is a one-to-one correspondence between an ISAAR data element and a ICA-AtoM field, the note typically just gives the ISAAR rule verbatim.
