EAD Elements: <archref> Archival Reference

Description:

A reference element that provides a citation and/or an electronic link to separately described archival materials of special interest. Examples of such materials include a record group and one of its large series (which might have separate EAD-encoded finding aids) and a general reference to a collection with similar content.

The <archref> element can be helpful in several situations. It can be used, with the HREF or ENTITYREF attribute, for linking to another EAD instance. The <archref> element can also be used to cite archival materials within a <bibliography>, <relatedmaterial>, or <separatedmaterial> element. The <archref> may contain just text or some of the content-specific elements such as <origination>, <repository>, and <unittitle> to identify the different kinds of information in a citation.

Do not confuse <archref> with the Bibliographic Reference <bibref> element, which is used to cite works that are published entities or individual items that are not usefully designated as archival materials.

May contain:

#PCDATA, abbr, abstract, bibref, container, dao, daogrp, emph, expan, extptr, extref, lb, note, origination, physdesc, physloc, ptr, ref, repository, title, unitdate, unitid, unittitle

May occur within:

abstract, bibliography, bibref, container, creation, dimensions, emph, entry, event, extent, extref, extrefloc, item, label, langusage, origination, otherfindaid, p, physdesc, physfacet, physloc, ref, refloc, relatedmaterial, repository, separatedmaterial, unitdate, unitid, unittitle
