[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Linking Top Containers to Resource and Component Records

[Hoffner, Bailey E.]

Hello All,

We’re curious how others choose to link their top containers to collections materials, and the benefits and drawbacks of the following approaches:


  *   Linking top containers to resource (collection) level records only
  *   Linking top containers to component level records only
  *   Linking top containers to resource AND component records

We have found all three to be useful in different circumstances:


  *   Linking top containers to resource (collection) level records only
     *   Expedience, when using bulk approaches to link lots of top containers in a short amount of time
  *   Linking top containers to component level records only
     *   When a single person is processing a collection and linking containers as they go (for example)
  *   Linking top containers to resource AND component records
     *   When multiple people with different permissions are working on a collection – those with greater permissions can create top containers at the resource level to be used and linked to component records that others are creating later

Thanks for any feedback!

-Bailey
