Hello Lourdes - We've created a single constituent record for "Unknown," which is used fairly often. When linking it to an object record, I use the prefix field, depending on the situation, to help describe the role of the person: Photographer Unknown Author Unknown etc. You could do the same for "Anonymous" I suppose, and use the suffix field instead: Anonymous Photographer Anonymous Author. Hope this helps. Allison .................................................................. .................................................................. the warhol: Allison A.

We have some works of art with anonymous author. As I am entering the information in TMS we found a problem: in constituents, how we should put an anonymous author. Does anyone have in the list of constituent names like Jane Doe, anonymous author, etc. I would like to know, if anyone of you can tell me, how you deal with this. Thanks. Lourdes M.
