Motivation

Archives West (Q7060019) provides access to descriptions of archival collections in western United States (currently Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) repositories, including correspondence, diaries, photographs, corporate records, and personal papers. The site provides a way to limit a search to the archival collections in a particular repository. This property would allow linking to the finding aids for repository collections from the Wikidata item for the repository. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 00:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
