LMHS does not capitalize its historical collections or treat them as financial assets. > Deaccessioning of items from the collection is to be undertaken to improve and refine the museum's collections, and will not be undertaken to generate funds for the LMHS. Accordingly, funds from the sale of collections may be used for the acquisition of collections or the direct care or preservation of existing collections. Funds are not to be used to provide financial support for institutional operations." Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 LMHS' collections further the organization's ability to serve as Lake Minnetonka's primary curator and repository of the region's historical record. Without its collection, the community's access to view and learn about its history firsthand would be significantly diminished as the artifacts would no longer be held in trust within the community. Instead they would be relegated to state and county museums. The communities of Lake Minnetonka are stronger with direct access the artifacts that tell the story of how the communities came to be, how their identity evolved, etc. Schedule D, Part VI, Line 1d Scanner and Microfilm Reader Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The organization has regular members who pay annual dues and have voting rights in the organization.
