About this event
Deaccessioning and disposal occur as part of responsible collections management, in the context of a museum’s collections development policy. This session will focus on the Spectrum 5.1 Deaccessioning and disposal procedure. We will review policy considerations, Spectrum requirements and suggested procedure. We will also signpost to guidance and toolkits for methods of disposal, decision-making and documentation.
There will opportunities to discuss with colleagues, ask questions throughout and submit questions in advance.
By the end of the session, attendees will:
· Understand the Spectrum requirements and policy guidance for Deaccessioning and disposal.
· Understand the Spectrum suggested procedure for Deaccessioning and disposal.
· Know where to find more information and guidance.
Before the session, attendees should:
· Ensure they have a working microphone, so they can fully participate.
· Take a look at their organisation’s collections development policy.
· Read their organisation’s written procedure for Deaccessioning and disposal, if available.
