Accessions

This section includes guidelines for creating accession records for records in analog and born-digital formats, as well as procedures for transferring digital content to the Bentley, and handling accessions containing removable media.

In the majority of cases, the Field Archivist will transfer and accession physical and born-digital records in ArchivesSpace. However, time to time Curation may be asked to communicate with and/or accept donations from donors, if a Field Archivist is not available. In anticipation of such instances, Curation archivists will be provided specific instructions.
