Deaccessioning and Disposal Procedure

This session, facilitated by Collections Trust, will explore the Spectrum 5.1 Deaccessioning and disposal procedure and how it can be used as part of responsible collections management.

We will review policy considerations, Spectrum requirements and suggested procedure. We will also signpost to guidance and toolkits for methods of disposal, decision-making and documentation.

There will opportunities to discuss with colleagues, ask questions throughout and submit questions in advance.

Who is the session suitable for?

Trustees, managers, beginners, volunteers.

Maximum two delegates per organisation. Priority will be given to delegates from non-NPO and non-National museums in the Midlands which are Accredited or officially Working Towards Accreditation. You’re welcome to book a place if you are not from a priority museum, including non-Accredited museums, on the understanding we may ask you to release your place if the event becomes oversubscribed.
