Programs <br />Museums serve society by advancing an understanding and appreciation of the natural and <br />cultural common wealth through exhibitions, research, scholarship, publications and <br />educational activities. These programs further the museum's mission and are responsive to <br />the concerns, interests and needs of society. <br />Thus, the museum ensures that: <br />• programs support its mission and public trust responsibilities <br />• programs are founded on scholarship and marked by intellectual integrity <br />• programs are accessible and encourage participation of the widest possible <br />audience consistent with its mission and resources <br />• programs respect pluralistic values, traditions and concerns <br />• revenue -producing activities and activities that involve relationships with external <br />entities are compatible with the museum's mission and support its public trust <br />responsibilities <br />• programs promote the public good rather than individual financial gain. <br />Promulgation <br />This Code of Ethics for Museums was adopted by the Board of Directors of the American <br />Association of Museums on November 12, 1993 and revised in 2000. The AAM Board of <br />Directors recommends that each nonprofit museum member of the American Association <br />of Museums adopt and promulgate its separate code of ethics, applying the Code of Ethics <br />for Museums to its own institutional setting. <br />A Committee on Ethics, nominated by the president of the AAM and confirmed by the Board <br />of Directors, will be charged with two responsibilities: <br />establishing programs of information, education and assistance to guide museums <br />in developing their own codes of ethics <br />reviewing the Code of Ethics for Museums and periodically recommending <br />refinements and revisions to the Board of Directors. <br />Afterword <br />Each nonprofit museum member of the American Association of Museums should <br />subscribe to the AAM Code of Ethics for Museums. Subsequently, these museums should set <br />about framing their own institutional codes of ethics, which should be in conformance with <br />the AAM code and should expand on it through the elaboration of specific practices. This <br />recommendation is made to these member institutions in the belief that engaging the <br />governing authority, staff and volunteers in applying the AAM code to institutional settings <br />will stimulate the development and maintenance of sound policies and procedures <br />
