accessions
Items newly acquired
Accessions is the plural of accession, which refers to items newly added to a collection—typically in libraries, museums, or archives: This year's accessions include several rare manuscripts.
The word also names the act of recording such additions: The librarian handles accessions every Tuesday.
In other contexts, accession means attaining a position of power: the king's accession to the throne.
