When processing a collection, archivists should not assume that the names in the HOLLIS record for creator or subjects are correct. Archivists should always do a new search of the NAF to see if a different, or updated, name has been established.

Be sure to double check that common names (such as Jane Smith) are linked to the correct name. See the below example of a name that is established in NAF.
