The Taylor County Historical Society has had a collection of minerals/rocks
donated. The curators have not accessioned this type of material before,
so we are looking for suggestions and ideas on how to store them. Also
need information on how to to number them with our accession numbers.
Should they use the one main accession number and then add a .1, .2, .3 etc
to the end for each specimen? Should they break the accession numbers down
in to time periods? Ex. Early Woodland, Late Woodland
Thanks.
