Accession, rationalisation and identification

Purposes of processing your personal data

Accession and rationalisation are the processes by which items are added to or removed from the museum collection. We also provide an identification service. In order to carry out these processes, we need to collect information the people providing the items, and the people receiving the items if they are leaving our collection. This information allows us to track where an item has come from and where it has gone if it is no longer in the collection.

If an item donated to the museum is sold to another organisation, the accession data (including the donors contact details), will be passed to that organisation. This ensures the provenance and history of the item is maintained.

How long we hold your personal data

The information collected in this process forms part of the historic record, and so is kept permanently.
