Latino Center Historical Collection of Undocumented Objects

The Latino Center of Art and Culture (LCAC) conducted an inventory of the screen prints collection. During the inventory, LCAC found numerous objects that were Found in Collection (FIC) with no accession numbers or information about provenance. The lack of documentation prevents LCAC from using these items to serve its mission, statements, all the while bearing the costs and responsibilities of caring for them including storage, record maintenance, insurance, periodic inventory and general overhead. The LCAC hereby wish to return these objects to the rightful owner or gain proper title for these objects in order to better use or deaccession them. Freeing up collection storage space will allow the LCAC to focus their limited resources on caring for, and providing public access to, its legally owned collection.

By following the notice procedure under California Civil Code section 1899, et. seq., the LCAC has posted a notice in local newspapers and online for FIC objects. Please see the following list of objects for descriptions and images. Interested parties who wish to claim the property, should submit Historical Collection inquiries to Alma López at boardchair@thelatinocenter.org.
