III	It is the Museums policy not to capitalize acquisition of collection items, primarily natural history specimens and cultural artifacts. Donated collection items are not recognized on the Statements of Activities. Proceeds from deaccessions are used solely for the acquisition of collections. Purchases of collection items with donorestricted assets are recorded as decreases in temporarily restricted or permanently restricted net assets in the year in which the collection items are acquired. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected in the Statement of Activities based on the absence or existence and nature of donor-imposed restrictions.
