It is possible the item may have been left at your institution to be
considered for acquisition and accessioning.  Most places have a
separate form for this detailing where the item came from and the fact
that it is under consideration but that the museum does not have any
ownership of the item at that specific time.  Many places are trying to
move away from this practice in order to minimize confusion and
liability.  If this is what was done in the past it would be important
to figure out if you have proper documentation for the item assuming the
institution decided to acquire it.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] "On Deposit"

Afternoon list members:

Has there been any discussion of the term "On Deposit"?  This note is 
occurring a few time in our accession book.  Might it mean a loan? 
Other items are identified as "Loaned."

Regards,

Joshua K. Blay
