Loan period policy for gelatin silver prints

  • 1.  Loan period policy for gelatin silver prints

    Posted 05-26-2020 12:19 PM

    Hi everyone!  For those that deal with loans to other museum institutions, specifically for photographic works - I'm wondering what your loan policies are for safe length of time for gelatin silver prints to be out on loan - in particular when there are multiple traveling shows requiring duration longer than 3 months.  How often/long should resting periods be enacted if loan period is lengthy or multiple venues? Etc.

    Thanks!
