DEACCESSION – The process by which a specimen is permanently<br />

removed from the collection due to death or title transfer, and its record file<br />

closed and archived (files are never discarded)<br />

TO ARCHIVE – to move non –current (<strong>in</strong>active) files to a safe storage place<br />

where they may be consulted as necessary.<br />

The accession log should be a large bounded ledger so that it cannot be misplaced. If<br />

possible <strong>in</strong>dividual ledger should be ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed for each class <strong>of</strong> animal. Otherwise one<br />

ledger with different sections assigned to each class <strong>of</strong> animal. All pages <strong>of</strong> the ledger<br />

should have pr<strong>in</strong>ted format.<br />
