Hello,

We would also be interested in this; it's one of the features we lost in 
migrating from our last system (besides batch editing) that gets requested the 
most. We're currently capturing this information in the Disposition Note of 
each Accession record, but we would definitely like to link to accessioned 
materials more directly than just at the Resource level.  -k

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Linking related accessions below 
collection level

Hi all,

We have an interest in linking archival objects (i.e. the levels below 
collection level) in resource records back to the accessions they came from. 
The situation that precipitated discussion about this possibility was that we 
have one series of materials that is associated with multiple accession records.

Unless I'm missing something, the only way one can currently link to accessions 
from resource records is at the collection level. There is no "Related 
accessions" feature at levels below that.

The way we're doing this now is creating an accruals note at the appropriate 
level and typing the accession number into the free text field, but having a 
direct link between the two would be handy. For born-digital collections, we 
are also linking the original containers from which the digital content came to 
the appropriate level in the resource record using the instance module.

I'm wondering if others in the community have discussed or considered this 
before.

Thanks!

Best,

Jordon
