Museum Object Disposition
Permanently removing museum objects or collections of museum objects from the ß÷ßäÉçÇø (Uß÷ßäÉçÇø) Museums without a formal disposition (or deaccession) process is not allowed. Museum object disposition must be carefully considered and is governed by the ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums and Collections Policy.
Museums and Collections Services (MACS) manages all museum object dispositions as they require approval from the Uß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums Policy and Planning Committee and the Board of Governors.
To submit an object disposition request:
