PART III, LINE 1A:	THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE MADE UP OF OBJECTS OF HISTORICAL, CULTURAL OR SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE THAT ARE HELD FOR EDUCATIONAL, RESEARCH, SCIENTIFIC AND CURATORIAL PURPOSES. EACH OF THE ITEMS IS CATALOGED, PRESERVED AND CARED FOR, AND ACTIVITIES VERIFYING ITS EXISTENCE AND ASSESSING ITS CONDITION ARE PERFORMED CONTINUOUSLY. THE COLLECTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A POLICY THAT REQUIRES PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF COLLECTION ITEMS TO BE DEPOSITED IN THE ENDOWMENT, WITH EARNINGS TO BE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR COLLECTIONS OR PROVIDE FOR THE DIRECT CARE OF EXISTING COLLECTIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRACTICE GENERALLY FOLLOWED BY THE MUSEUMS, THE VALUE OF OBJECTS IN THE COLLECTIONS IS EXCLUDED FROM THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; COLLECTIONS ARE REFLECTED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT A NOMINAL VALUE OF $1.

PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED AS DECREASES IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS ARE ACQUIRED, OR AS DECREASES IN TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS IF THE ASSETS USED TO PURCHASE THE ITEMS ARE RESTRICTED BY DONORS.
