I was wondering how other TMS users deal with the issue of
constituents that change over time (museums, companies, and individuals). Do you create constituent records for all
incarnations of a company or museum (say Tiffany for example) or for the most
recent version of the name? If you
attach the historic name, how do you address issues of searching? Does the Alternate Name section solve this
problem? And finally, do the same rules
apply for individuals?
Thanks in advance!
