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

[Opitz, Cindy E]

We loan materials from the collection department to the exhibition department and education department. Having a loan form for these uses of specimens helps with tracking specimen locations as well as specimen use.

We ban 'internal loan' as a concept within our museum on the basis that the collections do not belong to departments or curators but to the institution as a whole. Discussion takes place between curators to agree suitable exhibits, conservators advise, and we simply update 'current location' in the database.

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
