*Caring for your Collections:  The Long Road to Deaccessioning*



Date:  Monday, March 25, 2019 - 9:30a - 4pm

Location:  Alberni Valley Museum, 4255 Wallace St, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 3Y6



Instructor:  Luc Desmarais



As museum collections grow year by year, storage space is becoming limited
and causing a strain on staff time and resources. But before you can start
cleaning house, you need to ensure the foundation of your collection is
solid so you can prepare from the ground up. It’s a long road to
deaccessioning!



BCMA invites you to join Luc Desmarais as he guides you through how small
museums can lay the groundwork for collection clean-up and deaccessioning
projects in British Columbia. From policy, to inventory, and ethical issues
to disposal, Luc will map out your journey to a refined and tidy
collection. Participants will be introduced to BCMA’s soon-to-be-released
"Deaccessioning Tool for Small Museums" along the way.
