If an accession number has not been assigned to the data you are working with, please ask a staff member to provide you with one.
Accession records in Specify log important legal and provenance information. Each of these records has a unique number identifying it- the Accession Number. These numbers are formatted to show the year the material was accessioned, and the order in which it came. The Accession Number field in the Collection Object form lets NPL 'tie' the Accession record to the Collection Object, so it's important to have the correct number in this field.
