Hello, >From what I understand working with AS, agent records only link back to 'collections' if the agents name is included in the top record of the collection that denotes all the finding aid data, etc.. If this is in fact true, it seems like a shortcoming, since it would be ideal to see all the records created by or associated with the agent when one enters an agent record based on the agent being linked to such records. I have agents linked with most of the archival and digital object records I have created, and none of this information shows up on the PUI ... only the collection the agent is related to when the agent, again, is additionally linked to the top collection record.
I am responding because I would like to see it otherwise if possible. Best regards, Greg Gregory D.

I am working on a collection that gets heavy use by genealogists. I am weighing out including names within the archival description for files versus creating agent records and linking them to the files. However, in this test, I noticed that agents associated with archival objects are not linking back to the collection on the public interface: http://sunymaritimearchives.libraryhost.com/agents/26?agent_type=agent_person Under Related Collections it says No Records. Based on perusing the new PUI test site, I *think* maybe this is something that is just not working now that will be fixed when it gets released? Could anyone confirm this? I am in the midst of designing a project for students that is supposed to start in a week ? I?d like to have them create agent records, but not if it won?t display correctly?
