The Registrars Committee of the American Association of Museums (as well as others) have been grappling with the ethical and legal problems of deaccessioning for some time. Anyone who is interested in the subject should contact Margaret Willard, the Registrar at the Des Moines Art Center, who organized a full-day pre-conference workshop on Deaccessioning in Fort Worth in 1993 and recently delivered a paper on the topic at the Western Region Museum Association meeting in Honolulu. Maggy can be reached by phone at 515 277- 4405 or fax at 515 279-3834 (sorry, no e-mail). Suzanne did not mention it, but Pam Watson of her office gave a dynamite paper about the practicalities of a deaccessioning program at the Fort Worth workshop which should be standard reading for any museum contemplating doing the same.
