Deaccessioning archives is an important collection management tool, but the process can be intimidating and overwhelming. This 90 minute program will include information about:

  • Deaccession criteria
  • Creating a Collections Committee
  • Donor requests
  • What to do with ‘Found In Collections’
  • What is considered a ‘diligent search’
  • Keeping the public’s trust intact
  • Documentation and transparency
  • Thoughts on ‘disposal’ 
  • Your collections going forward

Also, case studies will be discussed to extract lessons from real world experiences. For more information, contact Nicole Menchise at 631-675-1570 (ext 2004) or at nmenchise@lilrc.org.
