Numbering systems

[Rickie Good]

I work for a small county museum and the numbering system adopted 75 years ago is basically 1 2 3 4 on so forth. Issues I currently have with this system are: some of the collections have the same accession number differentiated by an  A or B ; and secondly the numbering system established 30+ years ago for archival material has not been used since then and has not been documented with the exception of a small container of 3×5 cards. Is it better to try and fix these areas or begin a new numbering system.

Thanks.

Faith
