# Person Records
The **Person** Object Type records provide information about a specific person, such as the location and dates of the person's birth and death (under **Birth Event** and **Death Event** fields, respectively). **Person** records may also contain alternative names for the person (**Alias** field), comments about the person (**Comments** field), Authority data about the person (**Authority Lists** field), and the Antique Monuments and/or Postclassical Works with which the person is associated (**Antique Monument** and **Postclassical Work** fields, respectively).
The records of the Object type 'Person' can be attached to records of the Object types [Antique Monuments](/using-census-data/data-in-the-census-records/antique-monument-records.md), [Postclassical Works](/using-census-data/data-in-the-census-records/postclassical-work-records.md), and [Locations](/using-census-data/data-in-the-census-records/location-records.md), where persons are identified as actors.
You can access and search all of the Person records in the Census by clicking on the Person icon on the left-hand menu:
After clicking on the Person icon, you can search all person records using the free-text search field or using Advanced search.
