The collection is held for public exhibition, education, or research. In conformity with the practice generally followed by the Organization, no value is assigned to the collections in the statement of financial position as allowed by GAAP. Purchases of collection items are recognized as reductions in the appropriate net asset class in the period of acquisition. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries for lost or destroyed collection items are recognized as increases in net assets without donor restrictions and designated for future collection acquisitions. Noncash deaccessions of collection items result from the exchange, donation, or destruction due to deterioration, a lack of mission relation, or duplicate other objects. During the fiscal year, noncash deaccessions included works of art, and collection of books. Items that are acquired with the intent to sell, exchange, or otherwise be used for financial gain are not considered collection items and are recorded as other assets at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose. The Organization collects works of art and books. The collection is held for public exhibition, education, and research in furtherance of the Organization's charitable mission.
