[can-talk] Thank You National Trust (WA) and CAN

Hi Everyone,

Some months ago the National Trust of Australia (Western Australia) 
announced on CAN that it was disposing of items, and inviting 
institutions to register to obtain them. I registered and "bid" 
(although there was no dollar cost) for items for two collections 
where I am working, and these have just arrived. In both cases the 
volunteers were entranced with the items received, but it also 
illustrated for them the appropriate way to deaccession unwanted 
items in collections.

So it has been a wonderful exercise, and I just wanted to acknowledge 
the National Trust here, for their generosity in handing them to 
other collections, and to CAN for providing the means by which this 
was made known to us.

Regards

Linda
