Policy and formulation
Used in Folger records for the accession number
- All vault materials added to the collection receive a 6-digit accession number. The call numbers of most printed rare materials are based on the accession number. Items acquired before this practice may have four-digit accession numbers, case numbers, the name of a person, or a date.
- Case numbers are 4-digit numbers that go to the low 2000s. Record the number preceded by 'cs', no space. Example:
ǂe cs1493
(a parallel series of case numbers from 1 through 128 have circles around them, and are referred to as "circle case" numbers. Use parentheses to indicate the circle. Example:ǂe cs(25)
) - Accession numbers 3001 through 7029 were assigned between October 1930 and the end of August 1938.[1] (A previous version of these instructions incorrectly said "The books donated by Henry N. Paul were given 4-digit accession numbers in the 6xxx range" but in fact, the Paul donation received accession numbers 5921-6176, 6735-6858, and 6897-6900. Incorrect Henry N. Paul former owner access points may therefore be present in Hamnet).
- Separate the units of date-based accession numbers with a period. Example:
ǂe 12.30.44
- 'F' or 'ac' usually precedes the six-digit accession number or accession date as written in the item. Record the 6-digit number only. Example
ǂe 256644
- If item in hand lacks a case or accession number, record
ǂe No case or accession number present
- In the case of framed art or other material where an accession number would be hidden, record
ǂe No case or accession number visible
