<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeptimusT, post: 3342096, member: 91240&quot;]I think that other countries should emulate how the UK does things. I see no harm in adding this provision. Most museums do not have deep pockets and aren’t going to frivolously acquire things to keep them away from collectors. Objects which are truly significant or unique belong in museums (on the condition that they be on display and accessible to the public), not in private collections. I would feel like I was stealing if I had something like that in my collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Documenting even small finds that stay in private hands, as the UK does, has a ton of scholarly benefit, which is good for all of us. It’s just not possible to do the kind a of studies that you can do with that data in other countries that don’t have that system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
