Bonjour!
At the
National Air and
Object Status Deaccessioned
Published Reference Note deaccession memo and date,
destruction memo and date
Current Location Site Other Subsite Deaccessioned SubLevel Destroyed
In the Deaccession & Disposal pull down menu
we create a new Deaccession Record
with approval dates and fill in the Disposition
Method as Destroyed.
This
allows us several ways of searching and sorting this type of information.

"Objects"
Hello,
A quick question: When “objects”, which have TMS records,
need to be destroyed (such as in the case of reproductions of objects created
for exhibition purposes), how do you indicate this is TMS?
We are considering indicating “deaccessioned” in Object Status, but I am not sure it is
specific enough without further explanation in another field. Does anyone use Object Status “destroyed”, or
something else?
We do not want to delete the object records themselves.
Thanks
