It is an important part of a comprehensive collections management program. Once an object has been accessioned as part of a museum’s permanent collection, its removal from that collection requires a careful documented procedure of deaccessioning. The policy is a guideline that should state under what circumstances are permissible, what acceptable methods of disposition are stated, how any proceeds will be handled, the authority required and the records that need to be maintained.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:5.0pt;margin-right:3.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:3.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Lana Panko has had over 20 years of experience with the process of deaccessioning including formulating policy, identifying materials, documentation, approval processes and selection of disposal, transfer, auction methods.This session will cover the professional standards and how this may vary depending upon the institution, steps involved in the process, ethical and legal implications and several case studies.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:5.0pt;margin-right:3.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:3.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Your speakers:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:5.0pt;margin-right:3.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:3.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/conferences/current-conference/guest-speakers/" title="Guest Speakers">Lana Panko</a>, Curator of Collections, City of Surrey<br><a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/conferences/current-conference/guest-speakers/" title="Guest Speakers">Luc Desmarais</a>, Collection Coordinator, North Vancouver Museum and Archives<br><a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/conferences/current-conference/guest-speakers/" title="Guest Speakers">Magdalena Moore</a><br><a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/conferences/current-conference/guest-speakers/" title="Guest Speakers">Tom Gooden</a>, Assistant Curator, Burnaby Village Museum<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Cost: $30 members/ $45 non-members.
