<relatedmaterial> Related Material

<relatedmaterial> encodes information about materials that are not physically or logically included in the material described in the finding aid, that may be of use to a reader. These materials are not related to the described material by provenance. This is not the same as <separatedmaterial>, which refers to information about materials related to the described materials by provenance but that have been separated. Nor should it be confused with <altformavail> or <originalsloc>, which refer to duplicated materials.

This element is comparable to ISAD(G) data element 3.5.3 and MARC field 544 with indicator 1.

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