The simplest way to retrieve any authority history records associated with a displayed distributed authority record is to launch an automatic search for the same OCLC ARN in the authority history file using Authorities > Show > LC Superseded Versions. (Or vice versa: Locate a distributed record from an open history record using Authorities > Show > LC Distributed Version).
