§ 47-07-14 — Museum records - Disposition of loaned or donated objects

Every nonprofit or noncounty museum in this state which is loaned or receives by donation
any object for public display or safekeeping must keep a record of those objects. The record
must indicate the owner or owners of the loaned objects and their addresses. A duplicate of the
record must be filed with the county in which the museum is located. The board of directors or
any person in charge of a museum which is closing or closed must return loaned objects to the
recorded owners. All unreturned or unclaimed objects must be retained for two years to ensure
that individuals have the opportunity to reclaim loaned objects. After that time, unclaimed
objects may be disposed of at the discretion of the board of directors or person in charge of the
museum.
