'''Acquisitions''' are objects obtained by a museum. Not all acquisitions need to be cataloged. Any acquisition that the museum intends on adding to their permanent collection and cataloging needs to be accessioned.
'''Accessioning''' is the formal process of adding a acquisition to the museum's permanent collection. Only accession objects that fit the mission of your institution and that your museum has the capacity to care for indefinitely. To learn about what what distinguishes the two see our blogpost [https://www.catalogit.app/post/acquisition-v-accession Acquisition v. Accession.] Also see our [https://support.catalogit.app/index.php/CatalogIt_Basics#Accessioning:~:text=upper%20right%20corner.-,Accessioning,-%5Bedit%5D CatalogIt Basics on Accessioning] for more information of the this process in CatalogIt.
