Subject: Plaques in collections

Dear Listers,
 
  I work for a museum in a large organization where we are often asked to
care for gifts that were given to our leaders.  Most of those gifts are in
the form of plaques or other commemorative items.  Because the intrinsic
value of these items is somewhat lacking, we do not wish  to acquire them
into our collection as we would acquire other artifacts.  I have been asked
to write a policy that would outline the life cycle of these items as well
as how and when we would dispose of them.  Do any of you have a policy for
temporary items such as these?  It would be very helpful for me to see how
such a policy is worded and put together.  
Thank you!
