Lesson 5 Summary Key points to remember: Accessioning includes gaining physical and intellectual control of your acquisitions; knowing what you have and where it is. . Accessioning should be completed as quickly as possible after you receive physical custody of the records. . Sometimes dividing your acquisitions into record series will make them easier to understand and manage.  . Your organization should use a consistent accession form to provide inventory control over your acquisitions. . The form should include accession number, title of collection, source, date accessioned, amount of material, description, comments on restrictions, and location of material. . Assign the accession number, create the accession record, and label the container.
