Every item goes through a detailed evaluation and review process from donation through collection deliberation. This includes collecting background information on the item’s era, researching the maker, communicating with the donor, clarifying ownership rights, inspecting the item’s condition, packaging & transportation, and more. If there are fewer donations of a particular type of artifact in a single category, they will be accumulated until there are enough to convene a review committee, thus avoiding wastage of manpower and resources by reviewing them one by one. In principle, we will try our best to complete the review process within one year, so we kindly ask donors to be patient.
