DEACCESSION – The process by which a specimen is permanently removed from the collection due to death or title transfer, and its record file closed and archived (files are never discarded) TO ARCHIVE – to move non –current (inactive) files to a safe storage place where they may be consulted as necessary. The accession log should be a large bounded ledger so that it cannot be misplaced. If possible individual ledger should be maintained for each class of animal. Otherwise one ledger with different sections assigned to each class of animal. All pages of the ledger should have printed format. The sample of the Accession Log with data from Darjeeling zoo is given below; Local ID # Common Name & Scientific Name 1 Snow Leopard (Uncia uncial) 2 Goral Naemorhaedus goral) 3 Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens fulgens) 4 5 6 …. …. …. ………. ………….. ………….. ………….. …………….. ……………..
