[Nhcoll-l] BLM repository agreements

[Debra Trock]

Good Morning All,

We have a post-doctoral student who is applying for a permit to collect
paleontological specimens on BLM land.  We currently have no collection
manager in Geology, and I am unfamiliar with Repository Agreements for
BLM.  They are asking for a "Curation Agreement Letter", followed up once
specimens are acquired, by an MOU.  The odd thing to me is that the
repository is expected to write the Curation Agreement (Repository) Letter.

We have a paralegal who must do this for us, but if she has to start from
scratch with this initial letter it is likely to hold up the student's
project, and become more cumbersome than it needs to be.  Does anyone have
such an agreement letter with BLM and the follow-up MOU that they would be
willing to share as a template?

I've put the link to the BLM web site, describing the requirements for
these permits below

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Best Regards,
Deb
