  • The office shall maintain or continue
      to maintain, as the case may be and to the extent  such  information  is
      available,  a record of acquisition, whether by purchase, bequest, gift,
      loan or  otherwise,  of  property  for  display  or  collection  and  of
      deaccessioning or loan of property currently held or thereafter acquired
      for  display or collection; provided, however, that the records required

      the acquisition or deaccessioning or loan, including any restrictions as
      to  its  use  or further disposition, and any other material facts about
      the terms and conditions of the transaction; (ii) include a copy of  any
      document  of conveyance relating to the acquisition or deaccessioning or
      loan of such property and all notices and other  documents  prepared  or

      sections 3.09 and 3.17 of this chapter; and  (iii)  be  retained  for  a
      period  of  at  least five years following the sale or deaccessioning of
