<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Justin,</div><div><br></div><div>You might check with a Tulane museum, especially the art museum or possibly the Anthropology Department. Museums usually have a formal loan policy and would thus have a loan agreement template outlining the responsibilities of the borrower, including appropriate storage locations, acceptable environmental conditions, and insurance requirements. You may not feel the need for insurance but you will want a binding agreement on the part of the borrower to compensate for any damage or loss. (Although of course putting a monetary figure on scientific specimens is difficult to impossible.) Using a Tulane template will make your life easier in the event the contract needs to be enforced. It should include the university's preferred details, such as how to credit the loan, and will presumably have been vetted by the university's legal team for institutional needs and compliance with applicable laws.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div>Laura</div><div><br></div><div><b><font color="#007f00" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:9pt">Laura Eklund</span></font></b><br><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px">Collections Manager</span><br><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt">Department of Anthropology</span><br><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt">California Academy of Sciences</span><br><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt">T 415.379.5383</span><br><a href="mailto:leklund@calacademy.org" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt" target="_blank">leklund@calacademy.org</a><br><br><a href="http://www.calacademy.org/" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt" target="_blank">www.calacademy.org</a><br><span style="color:rgb(126,126,126);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt">55 Music Concourse Drive</span><br><span style="color:rgb(125,125,125);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt">Golden Gate Park</span><br><span style="color:rgb(126,126,126);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt">San Francisco, CA 94118</span> <br><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12px"><br></span></font><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt">The entire Anthropology collection database is available online:</span><br><div><div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><a href="http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/anthropology/collections/index.asp" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt" target="_blank">http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/anthropology/collections/index.asp</a> </div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 2, 2021 at 9:21 AM Mann, Justin G <<a href="mailto:jmann@tulane.edu">jmann@tulane.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Collection folks!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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!<u></u><u></u></p>
