The website of the Registrars Committee of the American Association of
Museums ( HYPERLINK "http://www.rcaaam.org"www.rcaaam.org) has very detailed
information about Old Loan legislation, including a complete summary of the
workshop sponsored by RC-AAM in 2004 on the subject of "found in
collections".   Run, do not walk to this site.

Subject: unclaimed and abandoned property



Hello Everyone,

 

I hope someone can help me and provide guidance for dealing with abandoned
and unclaimed property and how to deal with problems of loans and donations
(artifacts) that have no provenance, loan or gift records, and no listed
name for a lender or donor. I know the basics for such practices and know
requirements vary from state to state. Can anyone help me with the proper
practice and procedure for New York State under situations? 

 

I do have some information (though it is not enough) about “actual notice”
given when the lender is known, and “notice by publication” but if anyone of
you can provide perhaps more specific guidelines and even templates, as well
as practice for when a lenders new / current name and address is unknown, I
would be very appreciative.

 

Thank you all for your assistance.
