Under Consideration To Be Deaccessioned
What deaccessioning means - the Board will choose to remove objects and artifacts from Bixby custody which either:
- are not relevant to the five-town community;
- are a duplicate of something in better condition already in the Collection; or,
- are in poor condition such that their cultural value is minimal
For more info about the Bixby's collection policy click here and please contact archives@bixbylibrary.org or ask to speak with Maddy Willwerth, Interim Director at the Bixby if you know more about the items in our collection or have any questions about the process.
