Create archival description from accession record

View accession record
  • After you have created an accession record you have the option of creating an archival description by clicking on the button "Create Archival description" in the button block.
    • The accession record is not aimed at end-user description, but ICA-AtoM provides the option to create an archival description from an accession record. The following archival description fields inherit the data entered into the accession record: title, name of creator, archival/custodial history, scope & content and physical condition. Name access points and Rights added to the accession record are inherited into the archival description.
