[Nhcoll-l] Does anyone have a document for protection when specimens are used outside the institution?

[Knox, Dr Alan G.]

Some years back a TV company borrowed a sizeable whale skull from our museum. Apparently, it didn't show up well under the studio lights so they decided to paint it with emulsion paint.

Unhelpful.

Hello Collection folks!
We are loaning some of our specimens to a television show for set decoration, and I was told that it would be a good idea to have a legal document in place that would cover us in case of damage etc. I was curious if anyone has had need for one of these documents in the past or know where I could find one? If so would you mind sending me that form / info so that we could create one ourselves? Any advice would be great!

Thanks,
Justin Mann
