[Nhcoll-l] AAM Direct Care survey

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Thanks to everyone who participated in AAM's Direct Care Survey. Museum standards and ethics dictate that funds from the sale of deaccessioned collections be used for acquisition or direct care/preservation of collections. Many are confused by the term "direct care."  More than 1,200 people responded to the survey, a clear indication that this is an issue of much interest in the field. Given this tremendous response, the Task Force will need time to analyze the findings and the large number of comments before reporting out. The Task Force will meet at the AAM Annual Meeting in Atlanta to review the results and begin to identify issues. It will continue to work over the rest of the year to formulate guidance for the field on generally accepted uses of proceeds shared by all disciplines and those specific to each discipline. The Task Force will issue a white paper before AAM's 2016 annual meeting, but will offer some top line findings in the next few months.

With many thanks,
Janet
