Dear All, This question is partly insurance related. I have collections which are on loan to the Archive, some of which were accessioned during the Archives early years, without clearly defined loan agreements. Apart from providing free storage, cataloguing and access to papers which may later be withdrawn this makes spending money on conservation problematic. In addition to the above problems, my question is to what extent will an Archive be liable for any loss or damage for such on loan collections? How have other repositories dealt with the risks of looking after such collections? With Many Thanks, Debbie Usher, Archivist Middle East Centre Archive St Antony's College Oxford OX26JF UK tel. +44 1865 284706 tel.
