Dear colleagues,
I would like to enquire about the grey-ish issue of insuring archival collections. I know that some collections in Ireland are covered by government indemnity if housed under the umbrella of 'cultural institutions'.
However, this case does not always apply, especially in the case of projects undertaken in cooperation between two or more bodies. We would like to know if you insure your collections and what are the companies willing to insure them (UK or Ireland-based and others). We would also like to know what kind of information these companies require (we all have a backlog in our processing; would we need to supply an itemised list to insurers, for instance?)
Any information will be appreciated!
Best regards,
Cecile
