<otherfindaid> encodes information about additional or alternative guides to the described material, whether created by the repository or by another party (dealer, originator, etc). While it is used to indicate the existence of additional finding aids, it is not meant to replicate those guides.

<otherfindaid> is one of the elements which may be used within <archdesc>, <c>, <c01> … <c12>, and itself.
