[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Customizing the accessions template

[Althea Topek]

Hi Bri,
At Smith, we have a custom accession template and Python script to import
accession records for our rare books. The template is very specific to rare
book accessioning (it includes payment information) but we usually import
two agent records for each accession (often the author and bookseller). The
documentation is available on our GitHub
<https://github.com/smith-special-collections/a2c-tools/tree/master/mrbc_accessions>
page where you can download the template and script. Let me know if you
have any questions!
Best,
Althea
