[Nhcoll-l] Policies regarding "internal loan" of specimens for exhibit

[John Friel]

Hi Andy,

Our policy here at the University of Alabama is that all accessioned specimens and objects on display in our museum are officially loaned to me the director on behalf of the museum, and these loans are renewed every ten years. Furthermore, the loan conditions are identical to those for external loans to researchers. Attached is a PDF of a recent internal loan to me for an exhibit.

Take care,

John

Hi all

I am interested in anyone who may be able to share policies from your organization that govern “internal loan” of specimens for exhibit purposes in your institution.  We are increasingly seeing more material on exhibit which is a positive step but need to formalize our process of making those specimens available and the conditions associated with their display.

Thanks in advance,

Andy
