This policy provides the framework for the Organization to make acquisitions and remove items from their collection. Further, the policy includes a code of ethics related to the management of the collections of artifacts, materials and documents in the control of the Organization.On November 10, 2008, the YCHS volunteers completed a detailed artifact inventory review and produced a Collections report which was delivered to the Organization's Board of Directors. This report indicated that it has approximately 20,000 artifacts. The Collections report lists significant collections of quilts, Native American artifacts, Yamhill pioneer artifacts, a historical library, historical photos, household, logging and a large collection of agricultural artifacts. Using this report, the Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company scheduled the artifacts at an insurance value of $250,000. Since there is no comprehensive valuation available for the Collections, they are shown in the statement of financial position at the insurance loss liability value plus an acquisition for $35,000 more in 2021.
