Summary:

By bringing together in one place a substantial number of the English-language texts concerning deaccssioning that have been published over the past two decades, this volume is intended to assist those who may be responsible for the establishment, design, or execution of a deaccessioning program. When a museum proposes today to deaccession one or more significant objects from its collection, it is all but inevitable that a considerable degree of public discussion will follow. The museum that intends to deaccession must be well prepared for that discussion.
