      <div class="moz-cite-prefix">The Patuxent Research Refuge
        Herbarium (PRR) grandfathered its old four-digit accession
        numbers by adding PRR and leading zeros to the numbers. Now they
        are nine-characters long.� We just continued the series for
        newer collections.� So, accession number 2122 would be catalog
        number PRR002122 <br>

      <div class="moz-cite-prefix">So to answer your question, we can
        easily cross reference the old accession numbers because the
        last four digits are integrated into the new number scheme.<br>
