At our repository we have a hodgepodge of items from different eras...therefore different ways of accepting donations. We are currently trying to get on track. I would like to know if any of you know the ethical/legal answer to the following:
If there are items with what we deem as "old numbers" from an old/no-longer-existent museum and no paperwork transferring ownership to the museum--it is legally ours...more specifically should we consider it already "accessioned?"
Great rates starting at 1¢/min.
