Issue details
De-accessioning of museum objects from the Council’s museum collections
The report proposes de-accessioning (i.e. removing from the museum's register of publicly-owned collections) records of objects that fall outside the museums’ agreed collecting policies and whose public benefit would be better served by being in other public museums or archives or have long since disappeared or been transferred elsewhere. Under the national Accreditation Scheme for Museums, the authority of the governing body is required if museum objects are to be de-accessioned.
