Re: receiving new material



Possibly....

Date sent
Name of transferring dept
Contact name (the person doing the transferring)

Contents of accession (eg., "Faculty of Arts - Committee files")
Extent
Inclusive dates
Media [checkboxes would work, "check all that apply" - textual,
photographic, moving image, sound recording, electronic (floppy
disks/CD's/other), graphic (eg., posters, artwork), maps and plans.

I'd also request a file list, preferably on floppy disk.

But you realize that most accessions are likely to arrived unannounced,
without any identifying documentation whatsoever, piled in a heap just
inside your door for you to trip over when you walk in.
