Regarding collections, it states, "The distinctive character of museum ethics derives from the ownership, care, and use of objects, specimens, and living collections representing the world's natural and cultural common wealth. This stewardship of collections entails the highest public trust and carries with it the presumption of rightful ownership, permanence, care, documentation, accessibility, and responsible disposal."
Additionally, the Samek follows the AAM Guidelines Concerning the Unlawful Appropriation of Objects During the Nazi Era, and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act
