[Archivesspace_Users_Group] agents as subjects

[Larry Weimer]

Kelly,

At New-York Historical, we use the "add term/subdivision" function to
attach one to the agent as subject at the resource level. I'm not happy
about the fact that the subdivision is free text input, rather than being
able to draw consistently from a subject authority list, but at least it's
a way to attach a subdivision.
