Hello,
Are there any museums out there which have successfully employed the
use of an electronic master ledger/ accession register? By that, I
mean using computer (MS Excel) as a master ledger or some software to
generate unique accession number when assigning numbers to your
collection?
What are the pros/ cons of using electronic ledger over handwritten ledgers?

Also, anyone with Accessioning Numbering Policy to share?
We are in the midst of reviewing our system to make sure it's
watertight to prevent recurrence of errors such as 2 items having the
same accession no.
Thanks in advance!
