Anything purchased with museum
monies (no matter where they come from: grants, donations, deaccession funds)
is considered a purchase. This is mandated by our finance department [and
looked on kindly by our auditors]. The credit line is the vanity plate wherein
anyone’s name can be listed.

Subject: Accession Method
How do you handle Accession Method when an object is
purchased by the institution with funds from a donor. Is this considered a
Gift, a Purchase, or do you have some other designation for it?
Many thanks,
