Hozzáfézdések

Hozzáfézdések is a Hungarian term that translates to "accessions" or "acquisitions" in English. It is commonly used in archival and library contexts to refer to the process of receiving new materials into a collection. This can include a wide range of items such as documents, books, photographs, digital records, and other artifacts.

The accessioning process involves several steps. First, new materials are identified and cataloged. This typically includes assigning a unique accession number to each item or group of items, recording their origin, and noting their physical description. This information is crucial for tracking the collection's growth and managing its contents.

The purpose of accessioning is to ensure that new materials are properly integrated into the existing collection, making them accessible for future use and preservation. It establishes a clear record of ownership and provenance, which is vital for understanding the historical and informational value of the materials.

Libraries and archives maintain accession records as a fundamental part of their operational procedures. These records serve as an inventory of what has been added to the collection over time and provide a basis for collection development decisions. The term can also be applied more broadly to the act of acquiring any new item for an institution's holdings.
