I’ve not received any acknowledgement of the receipt of the request for information to do with the removal of material from the QVMAG’s collections. Am I to assume, given your ‘Christmas Letter’ to me, that I’ll not be getting either an acknowledgement nor the information I’ve requested?
I can assure you that this is not a frivolous request.
If there have been no deaccessions, nor any other kind of disposal, and thus no record, mightn’t that be a straight forward matter to report?
If there has been, then again, might not the records show it to be so, and again, mightn’t that be a straight forward matter to report?
I look forward to receiving whatever information there is in regard to this matter.
Regards,
Ray

Good morning Martin George,
I would be very interested to know what objects/material(?) has been removed from the QVMAG collections in the last two calendar years – that is gifted, sold or destroyed.
Given the terms of the institution’s Deaccession Policy, terms that you would be aware that I believe are contentious to say the least, that would be objects/material NOT accessioned along with anything that was accessioned and consequently deaccessioned.
Also, I would be interested to receive copies of the documentation that would have needed to have been generated as a consequence of the deaccessioning, disposal or destruction.
I look forward to your advice and response in regard to this matter.
Regards,
Ray
PS: When I tried to access the QVMAG Website I received a notification that the site was down

Dear Ray
Your email of 5 January was forwarded to me by the General Manager, Robert Dobrzynski, to answer the question about access to the QVMAG collection.
You do not need the General Manager's clearance for access to the collection. The only constraint may be any special conditions placed by the donor on access at the time of lodgement. This is extremely rare but does occur for some papers, culturally sensitive material and oral histories.
We do need to be mindful of how much staff time is taken up with providing the information or access but if it is considered excessive that is normally discussed with the person conducting the research and the curator. Again this rarely occurs with many researches basing themselves in our public reading rooms and working with limited supervision. Online access should be fairly straightforward.
In terms of initial contact for access to the collection, Martin George, Collections and Research Manager, would be the best first point of contact (martin.george@launceston.tas.gov.au). He can then direct you to the relevant curator.
I trust this clears this up.
Regards, Richard

Good morning Robert,
Having given your recent letter some thought a series of questions arise. The first being to do with ‘governance authority’. Are you now telling me that governance authority for the QVMAG has been delegated to you? If so I would appreciate your confirmation or otherwise in regard to this.
The other question I require your early response to is as follows, do I now need to gain your clearance in regard to access to the QVMAG’s collections? If so, what constraints, if any, are you contemplating in order to achieve the “balance” you speak of?
In addition, I have an outstanding ‘Right to Information’ application in process which seems to be taking an extraordinary length time to resolve. I’m therefore asking you for an estimated date/timeline for this matter to be drawn to its conclusion.
I look forward to your early response.
Regards,
Ray

Dear Robert,
Thank you for your letter today (COPY ATTACHED) but I must say that I’m somewhat confused about its contents and timing given that I have had no recent contact with the QVMAG albeit that I have an outstanding matter relative to one of my works in the collection.
Currently I’m far too busy to respond to your letter in the manner it deserves but I shall do so in the new year when my work load will have abated and my timelines have been met.
Regards,
Ray
