Part ID number field

The Part ID number field records a number (or letter) that identifies the different parts of your object.

Cataloguing tips

Record any physically separate parts contained in the record.

For example, a pair of shoes in their original shoebox would collectively have the same accession number (such as MT.2018.15.3), and each part would have a unique part ID number.

Example

Part description Part ID number
Right shoe 1
Left shoe 2
Shoebox base 3
Shoebox lid 4
