DESCRIPTION:Deaccessioning is the opposite of accessioning—it is the perma
 nent removal of an object from a collection. Disposal refers to what happ
 ens to a collection object after it has been deaccessioned. Although this
  important tool for collections control is as old as museums\, these proc
 esses are fraught with contradiction and controversy. This webinar will a
 ddress the deaccessioning and disposal of objects in the context of good 
 collection stewardship\, including criteria for justifying these decision
 s and deciding how to dispose of deaccessioned objects. The legal and eth
 ical considerations of deaccessioning and disposal of objects from museum
  collections will be discussed\, as well as and how these procedures shou
 ld be documented. Critical and contentious issues will be considered incl
 uding how funds from deaccessioning should be used\, whether or not donor
 s should be notified\, and how to deal with public misconceptions about t
 he process. Guidelines will be provided for writing deaccessioning and di
 sposal policies and procedures. Questions are invited from the participan
 ts.\nFor more information: http://www.connectingtocollections.org/the_dea
