Museum Policy
ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums Policy
All matters pertaining to museum objects and collections at the ß÷ßäÉçÇø are governed by the ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums and Collections Policy. The policy and associated procedures define the University's responsibilities and accountabilities related to museum objects, collections and issues.
The policy and procedures were developed in consultation with academic and administrative staff throughout campus as part of UAPPOL (ß÷ßäÉçÇø Policies and Procedures online). The policy was approved by the Board of Governors on March 28, 2008. The ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums Policy and Planning Committee continually reviews and advises on policy issues.
What is a Registered Collection?
Under the ß÷ßäÉçÇø Museums and Collections Policy, museum collections must be registered with Museums and Collections Services in order to acquire museum objects and operate museum facilities that contain museum objects and collections. All 30 museum collections operating at the ß÷ßäÉçÇø are registered and authorized to undertake various museum-related activities.
