Hello Listers!  In sorting through records made over decades by a
combination of volunteers and one professional staff person, our current
staff is finding an assortment of problems we want to solve by current
standards.  The one we have on our plate now is that a number was assigned
twice.  I am able to determine that one item has better documentation and
thereby could perhaps lay claim more affirmatively to the number.  That
leaves the second item.  Do we treat the item as a new accession and give
it a number that reflects the current year? In addition, what would people
suggest we do in terms of documenting the change?  Feel free to contact me
off list if you prefer.
