The future economic benefits or service potentials of individual items comprising collections (as that term is commonly used, not necessarily as defined within this Subtopic) and of buildings and other structures—including those designated as landmarks, monuments, cathedrals, or historical treasures—are used up not only by wear and tear in intended uses but also by the continuous destructive effects of pollutants, vibrations, and so forth.

An NFP that does not recognize and capitalize its collections or that capitalizes collections prospectively shall describe its collections, including their relative significance, and its stewardship policies for collections. If collection items not capitalized are deaccessed during the period, it also shall describe the items given away, damaged, destroyed, lost, or otherwise deaccessed during the period or disclose their fair value.
