Yakima Valley Museum accession numbers are assigned to all items accessioned into the Yakima Valley Museum. This numbering system consists of three numbers separated by periods, i.e. 2001.002.005. For many of the images in the Yakima Valley Museum collection no accession number has ever been assigned, so an accession number in the 800's will be assigned. As an example, 2001.800.044. Accession numbers must always be entered as 4-3-3 (Four numbers, period, three numbers, period, three numbers). New accession numbers have also been assigned to the Relander collections. |

This subject heading is primarily used as a physical location of the image in a file cabinet. First, a review was made of the current filing systems at both the Yakima Valley Museum and Yakima Valley Regional Library. The two lists were compared against established thesauruses such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and the Thesaurus for Graphic Materials (LC). As a result, many subject headings in the current file system were change, and images relocated into new file folders as they are processed, based on the new subject headings. |
