Consequences of deleting an archival description:

  • If the record has lower-level descriptions registered to it, all the lower-level records are also deleted - i.e. if you delete a series, any sub-series, files, or items that belong to the series will also be deleted
  • Any date events associated with the description are deleted
  • The authority record of the associated creator is not deleted
  • The archival institution record of the associated repository is not deleted
