<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning. We are in the process of migrating to ArchivesSpace, and I have started to new create records in it. I have a question about the function of an agent record as a subject. I am able to create this, but it does not work
as I would have expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In MARC cataloging of archival collections (my primary work), we will frequently write a 1xx field as well as a 6xx field, indicating that a person or corporate body is both the creator as well as a topic of the collection. This is important
so that researchers will retrieve the name in an author search or a subject search.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In ArchivesSpace, it does not appear to work this way. That is, a name as subject is not retrieved in a subject search. Has anyone else considered making “agent as subject” retrievable in a subject search, at least in the public interface?
If this is possible, how can this change be made?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p>
