[BCMA] Deaccessioned Objects available for Transfer from RBCM - Hanging Textiles

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello colleagues,



The Royal BC Museum (RBCM) is preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime move to a new facility.  As part of the pack and move process, we are undertaking a complete review of the Modern History Collection. Objects relevant to the RBCM Collections Policy will be retained. Objects which are surplus to the RBCM needs or fail to meet the threshold for provincial significance, will be offered for permanent transfer to other provincial institutions and the larger heritage community. Please see the attached PDF.  The list includes hanging textiles from several eras.



Please note:

1.      You may be asked to confirm that you are a non-profit, public heritage institution.
2.      Shipping arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the receiving institution.
3.      If you are able to pick up objects, please indicate this so a transfer time can be arranged.
4.      Objects are in "as-is" condition.
5.      Please be aware that these objects were subject to fumigation as part of institutional pest management protocol and may contain hazardous compounds.  Recommended handling guidelines will be provided.
6.      There will be no conditions placed on the transfer.
7.      Requests will be responded to on a first-come, first-served basis.
8.      Additional groups of objects will be made available for transfer as the review of the collection progresses.



If you are interested in a transfer of any objects or require further information, please contact HistoryDeaccessions at royalbcmuseum.bc.ca<mailto:HistoryDeaccessions at royalbcmuseum.bc.ca>. These items will be available for transfer until January 17, 2025.



Sincerely,

Jody Riley

The Modern History Team
