Deaccession Order
Attached please find a list of Elgin Public Museum objects within its Collection that have been deemed
necessary for deaccessioning. The reason for deaccessioning is that the curation of human skeletal remains is
outside the Elgin Public Museum's mission. The limited documentation in the Museum's possession
indicates possible Native American affiliation. As such, all efforts have been made for the transfer of these
remains with dignity and respect in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act enacted by Congress in 1990.
In November of 1993, Lisa Wisniewski, Museum coordinator at the time under Director Nancy Epping,
sent a letter to over 100 tribes in 17 states informing them of objects in our possession. Less than half the
tribes responded. Of those that did respond, almost all wanted to know the provenance of our collections.
Within the Elgin Public Museums' records, these objects have been classified as Anthropology, North
American, Native American. The Museum has no documentation of authenticity of any of these objects.
Correspondence with several tribes continued for several years but there has never been resolution for their
transfer.
Under Elgin Public Museum's newly -enacted Collection Policy with the City of Elgin, these objects having
been acquired prior to 1982 must be approved for disposal by the City of Elgin. I therefore request such
approval, that these objects may be placed in the hands of the Illinois State Museum as soon as possible.
