��ɳ���� University has maintained unique collections of artifacts, art, and archival records for many years. While the great majority of these materials will remain at ��ɳ���� indefinitely, occasionally some items need to be transferred or discarded – a process formally described as “deaccessioning” – from our permanent collections. Professional guidelines for museums and archives recommend that formal standards for deaccessioning be created and maintained by collecting institutions. This policy provides: standards for considering materials for deaccessioning; the authorities and restrictions on making deaccessioning decisions; and the valid means of disposal or transfer of deaccessioned materials.
