Publisher Synopsis
An important book about an important subject! Museum deaccessioning is a healthy but potentially fraught practice. Steve Miller provides at once an ethical foundation and detailed guidelines for its implementation. Based on decades of museum experience, his book is a must-read for museum professionals and visitors alike. -- Petra ten-Doesschate Chu, professor of art history and museum studies, Seton Hall University Deaccessioning Today: Theory and Practice offers museum practitioners and museum studies students an enlightening volume to guide them through the often murky issue of deaccessioning.

This book is a valuable addition to any museum professional's bookcase. -- Priscilla Brendler, executive director, Greater Hudson Heritage Network Read more...
