Description:

Every museum has a few stray items. Some lost tags long ago. Others turn 
up as surprises during inventories. A few are all that remain from 
long-ago exhibits. While you'll want to keep some, others may be 
deteriorating. Even worse, some pose significant hazards for staff and 
the rest of the collection. All raise legal and professional questions. 
How do you deal with objects that have no records? Or loans from 
unidentified or deceased lenders? Found in the Collection addresses how 
to identify abandoned objects and old loans. It further covers the 
application of state laws and rules for identifying owners or 
establishing ownership.
