Museums and historical societies across Oregon regularly encounter collection objects without deeds of gift or adequate documentation, unsolicited materials left at their doors, and long-term loans whose owners can no longer be reached. Oregon law provides a process for resolving these situations, but the current requirements can involve significant time, expense, and paperwork. As a result, many objects remain in legal limbo, making it difficult for museums to manage their collections responsibly. Join us for this FREE webinar to learn about a museum-led effort to modernize Oregon’s museum property law. Presenters will introduce a plain-language proposal developed after researching laws in other states, explain how the proposed changes could benefit museums and donors, and answer questions from participants. You’ll also learn how to provide feedback on the proposal and advocate for legislation that supports responsible collections stewardship across Oregon.
