[Identification of item], General Library Accession registers, CU-12.01, University Archives, The Bancroft Library, University
of California, Berkeley.
From its earliest days to July 1912 the University of California, Berkeley library recorded its accessions in a series of
registers, recording the source of each item and the cost thus providing a glimpse into the beginnings of collection-building
of the library. Entries are in accession number order, which was also written in each item. It is not know how later accessions
were recorded, other than being noted in the official shelflist card file.
Volumes 2-25 appear to have been printed expressly for the library; each volume number is printed on the spine, and the columns
within each ledger size volume are labeled for the specific information needed by the library.
