[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Microfilm Numbers

[Patricia Mitchell]

Hi, I'm working on migrating legacy accession data to ArchivesSpace. All of our accessions have unique identifiers assigned to them, but some also have unique numbers assigned to them when they're microfilmed. An example would be: Ac. No. 2020-053, MF. 100. For migrating into ArchivesSpace, I would likely put 2020 in the first accession number field, followed by 053 in the second accession number field, but what should I do with the MF number? This is info we'd like to retain obviously, and we could put it in a user-identified field, but I'm trying to avoid creating too many custom fields if there are appropriate fields already available in ArchivesSpace. Does anyone else have more than one unique identifier assigned to a collection? Any ideas for where to record this data?
