Loan policy and procedures have been developed to maintain the security and integrity of the Museum's collection resources. The Peabody Museum lends only properly accessioned and catalogued material. The Peabody Museum lends to institutions only. All requests are considered by a loan review committee. All loans must be approved by the director.
All loans are subject to the terms outlined on the individual loan agreement.
Loans are generally made for the period of one year or less, subject to annual recall. If more than four renewal requests are made, the loan will be reconsidered by the loan review committee. No loan will be made for longer than five years. Unless alternate arrangements are agreed upon in writing, all loans must be returned to the Peabody Museum in the order in which they leave. For research loans, collections returned must be accompanied by a report of findings, whether or not formal publication results.
