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

While I don't have specific examples at hand you probably should contact your campus office that handles insurance claims and/or contracts (e.g., procurement) to see if they have a template that might work and be in accordance to your local laws. You may have to spell out conditions such as extreme heat or UV from stage lights, anchoring to a surface to prevent tipping, etc.

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
