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 |
