SUMMARY STATEMENT:
According to the Collection Management Policies the VMHA may deaccession items from the Museum Collection if they are duplicates of a better example; the condition of the object threatens itself or the rest of the collection; the object is not relevant to the collection; the museum cannot care for the object properly; or the authenticity of the object is questionable.
The Valdez Museum’s Collections Committee has determined through inventory and research that the following described objects are either not relevant to the Collection or are duplicates of other objects in the collection and has recommended to the Board that the objects be deaccessioned. The committee is now recommending that the City authorize deaccession of all items listed in “Attachment A” of the resolution. Upon approval, the VMHA shall dispose of the items by following procedures as set forth in the collection management policies.
