Contact me off-list and I'll send you a copy of the disposals policy of the
Canadian War Museum. Can your system read an MSWord 6.0 file or would you
prefer it as a DOS .txt file?

Subject: Creating a policy for my historical museum in the areas of
deacessioning procedures and reporting thefts.


> I am a museum director in southern New Jersey.  The collecting focus
> of my site is the material culture of the Delaware Valley.  I am
> wrestling with the creation of two policy statements.  First, how and
> when inappropriate objects should be deacessioned from my museum.
> Secondly, if my museum is the victim of a theft, my Board is wondering
> who we should report the artifact theft to, or whether it would be in
> our site's best interests not to report thefts at all.  Your response
> is appreciated - this is my first time using this service.
