I don't have our deed of gift here at home, but I'll get the correct wording
tomorrow. Our deed of gift includes a clause that ensures the donor and
his/her heirs agree to relinquish all claim to any donated artifact,
photograph, or whatever appears in Appendix A of the agreement for all time.
It basically gives our collection exclusive rights to the object(s), and
that little clause makes us comfortable enough to know we won't be "um-ing
and uh-ing" about it down the road. I should also mention we had a contract
lawyer look at it. It'll hold up in court. I'll e-mail the precise language
tomorrow.
