-There are two ways for connecting finding aids to topics: the first option is to make use of subject headings that might already be part of your archival descriptions. In apeEAD, these subject headings will be encoded in <controlaccess><subject>. We will have a look at this option further down below.

-The second option is using a Source Guide which already links to finding aids on that specific topic. You can create a Source Guide in the Archives Portal Europe's Dashboard and it is the same functionality which also enables you to create a Holdings Guide.

-This [http://www.archivesportaleuropefoundation.eu/images/videos/create-a-holdingsguide/create-a-holdingsguide.html instruction video] shows how to create a Holdings Guide, so use that same principle when clicking on the "Creation of a Source guide"-link in the "Source guide"-view of the Content manager screen of the Dashboard:

-You can connect finding aids multiple times to Holdings Guides and Source Guides, the amount of connections is visible in the column "Holdings guide" of the Content manager screen of the Dashboard.

In case you want to connect finding aids to a topic which does not yet exists in the Dashboard, contact your Country Manager, or the APEF technical team.
