  • 1.  Paperwork on receiving items on Loan?

    Posted 03-12-2018 09:10 AM


    I would like to know what type of paperwork and what policies you have in place for receiving items on loan for a temporary display.  Any info will be appreciated.

    Hi Barbara,

    You may want to look at the  National Park Service Museum Handbook for some guidelines and paperwork.  It is very comprehensive and should answer a lot of your questions.

    The AASLH also has some sample paperwork here: Sample Collection Documents | Resource Tags | Resources
    Making sure that you have signed paperwork with all information regarding the length of the loan, insurance liabilities, etc., is crucial to tracking objects that the institution does not own while they're on the property. Ensuring that both parties understand the agreement is important as well, so that no one confuses loaning with donating. 
    Hope that helps!
