Hi,
We also have the same issue here
with a Regimental Drum often being used for educational outreach and Regimental
Comrade Association events.
We complete Loan paperwork and the
ensure that the Regiment is aware of conservation, insurance and security
requirements for the duration of the loan. In actual fact, lenders from the
Regiment take the care of these items really seriously and it works very well.
Regards,
Rachel

Hi Arran,
I don't have an example of a donation being lent back out,
but we do have church plate on loan to us from the Parish Council who regularly
borrow it back for church services; it is a slightly different situation, but I
thought it might be a useful example. The PC insure the objects from the time
they leave the Museum until they return and they are kept in a safe in the
churchwarden's house when not in use. We are notified if anyone new comes to
collect the plate and they have to bring proof of identity (passport etc) when
collecting and we complete an outloans form in the usual way. The plate is
currently in store, but when it was on display we did have to take it out of the
case c.three times a year.
I hope this is helpful, generally, museum curators advise
against accepting donations with conditions, but you may feel that this is not
an option in this case.
Best wishes,
Sara

Hello
all,
I am hoping that
someone has had a similar experience in the past and might be able to let me
know how it has worked out…
We have been offered
a chain of office from a society that is quite important in Cardiff’s history,
but the society would want to be able to see the chain once a year for their AGM
(not to wear it, just have it at the meeting).
The society meets
outside opening times of the museum and would not be able to pay if we were to
keep the museum open which means we might have to move the chain 5 minutes down
the road, but it would definitely mean us having to move the object outside the
museum.
We would also need to
have a conversation about what would happen if the chain was to be put on
display, as we would not want to have to open the case once a year to take the
chain out.
Has anyone ever
accepted a donation like this, or does anyone have any musings about the
situation?
Thanks
Arran
