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"><br>
</div>
<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>

internal accession numbers.� Is there any reason to keep both
