Deaccessioning Today: Theory and Practice is a comprehensive
international overview of deaccessioning. Author Steven Miller
covers reasons for removing items from collections, looks at how
and why deaccessioning occurs in museums around the world, and
discusses recommended disposition procedures. Collections make
museums unique. Getting and keeping physical evidence of the human
and natural world, and doing so for the long term, is not done by
any other organizations, entities, agencies, etc. This
characteristic is essential to accept and understand regardless of
a museum's operations. It is especially important when considering
what to subtract from collections. Features include: *In-depth
coverage of reasons for deaccessioning including ownership
disputes, untenable conservation, redundancy, fakes and forgeries,
source of income, safety reasons; *Processes for both
museum-initiated and externally-initiated deaccessions;
*Disposition options including sale, gift, exchange, demotion,
destruction, and return; *Controversies surrounding deaccessions;
Deaccessioning Today is for museum professionals, those who are
responsible for museums (such as trustees, volunteers, elected
officials, and donors), as well as the general public with an
interest in how museums operate and why.
