Authority records

are one of the core Entity types in AtoM and provide users with a means to control the representation of information about actors - corporate bodies, persons, or families - who interact with archival materials, typically as creators.

Typically, authority records contain information about the authorized form of name and other forms of name by which the actor is known, dates of existence, relevant administrative or biographical history details, and other contextual information; additionally, roles in events and relationships with archival materials are also captured and expressed.
