...

When recording the month, use a leading zero if the number is less than 10.

Examples:
M041M161-03 for a manuscript collection accessioned in March of 20042016
A042A162-10 for an archival collection accessioned in October 20042016


Note: The accession number we record in the online Accessions Book is slightly longer, with a number added at the end to show which accession it was in that month, e.g. M161-03-006 for the 6th manuscript accession in March of 2016. Adding this part to the number ensures that each accession has a unique identifier.
