How to request loans from the University's Heritage Collections. Loans from the University of Edinburgh’s Heritage Collections will be considered for the purposes of exhibition, public study, research and teaching, in accordance with section 3.8 of the University’s Collections Management Policy. Requests should be submitted 12 months in advance of the loan period for international loans, and no less than 9 months in advance for loans in the UK. The decision to lend will be determined by the Loans Group, who meet quarterly – in early March, June, September and December respectively – to review each request on its individual merits to ensure that it complies with the conditions set out by the University's Heritage Collections and that it supports Heritage Collections’ own priorities and aims. The Borrower will normally bear all costs associated with borrowing. This may include costs for transport, couriers, photography, exhibition preparation, insurance and independent valuation for insurance purposes.
