The Collections Trust has taken on the Find an Object platform, a service previously managed by the Museums Association (MA). The platform lists deaccessioned items from museum collections that are available for transfer to other museums or organisations within the public domain.
Users can upload items they plan to dispose of, as well as search for objects that might find a place within their collection. They can also make speculative requests for items that they are looking to acquire. More than 200 items from museums across the UK are already listed on the Collections Trust website. Current listings on the MA website will remain live until 18 May, after which the service will be taken offline.
Museums with active listings on the are encouraged to repost these to the new site as soon as possible.
