[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Agent Links and Relators

[Maureen Callahan]

Just one note -- that list is based on the MARC relator list. I think it's
worth considering whether updating it is something you really WANT to do,
since it will be harder to reconcile that data in the future if you're not
using a controlled list.
